Dear Donor,

Here is our update about all the cool things that happened by the end of 2024.

As you remember we started our classes in August and we kept growing our small community of archers reaching more than 50 people by the end of 2024!

Here are some highlights:

• From August to December, we continuously conducted archery classes, engaging more than 50 individuals.
• Gained 14 club members, most of whom completed our introductory course.
• Found a new additional coach, enabling him to resume sports practice after a more than thirty-year hiatus.
• Acquired additional archery equipment, including stabilizers and sights.
• Started producing educational video content. See here.
• Participated in the "Western Armenia Cup" competition held in Armenia.
• Held our club council's year-end meeting as well as a year-end open meeting with the club members.

Stay tuned and please spread the word!

Best wishes,

The Nairi Archery Club

Dear Donor,

It's time for another update! We are excited to share that we have implemented several important projects since our last report.

After shipping the equipment to Armenia, completing certification, and clearing customs, we officially kicked off our archery activities. 😉

• In July, our team of young athletes participated in an international archery competition in Batumi. We are thrilled to announce that they returned home with one silver 🥈 and three bronze 🥉 medals!
• In August, we began offering archery classes for all age groups in our new hall. We have three options available: a trial lesson, an introductory course, and club membership for experienced archers. You can explore these options, register, and spread the word using this link.
• Finally, in September, we are planning an open day for our donors. This event is open to everyone, regardless of the donation amount. In addition to the open day, we will organize individual and group classes for all the eligible supporters as mentioned on the donation page. We will send more information soon through an email.

That's all for now. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Best wishes,

The Nairi Archery Club

Dear Supporter, 

We’re thrilled to share how we first used the sports equipment acquired with your help. We celebrated healthy living with Tumo 🤝.  

This summer, the Nairi Archery Club hosted an exciting archery class for beginners at Camp TUMO, using our brand-new equipment. It was an unforgettable experience for everyone involved!

We spent an amazing day together, where we:

📚Talked about the history of archery,

🔎Explored archery equipment, shooting mechanics, and safety,

🏹 Learned how to shoot,

🏆 Competed, and most importantly, had a blast, stayed active, and made new friends. 🤸🏃🌟

It’s fantastic to find partners who value sports and share our vision. Cheers to TUMO camp! 🤝

Thank you for standing by us. Please continue to spread the word—we have much more to achieve!

Best regards,

Nairi Archery Club

Dear Supporter,

We are thrilled to share some exciting news! Thanks to your generous contribution, we’ve successfully acquired the first batch of bows, arrows, and essential gear for our archery club. Your support has been instrumental in bridging a crucial gap.

Selecting the right bow and its components is no small feat—it requires a deep understanding of archery mechanics and materials. We approached this task with utmost care, keeping our commitment to quality and our vision of elevating archery standards in Armenia at the forefront:

1. Trusted European Suppliers: We made the decision to source our equipment from reputable European suppliers known for their high-quality products.
2. Expert Consultations: Our club president engaged in professional consultations with seasoned coaches from Spanish archery clubs. With over 30 years of experience, they helped compile a list of bows and parts suitable for beginners. These selections promise both a quality experience and durability.
3. Careful Supplier Selection: We meticulously evaluated potential suppliers. To our delight, one of them even donated equipment after learning about our club’s mission. It’s heartwarming to know that support extends across borders—even from distant places like Barcelona.

Currently, we’re coordinating the shipment of the equipment to Armenia. Rest assured, we’ll keep you informed about our progress and next steps.

Thank you for standing by us. Please continue to spread the word—we have much more to achieve!

Best regards,

Nairi Archery Club

In December, for the first time, our club participated in a regional competition outside of Armenia. We went to Georgia with a team of six people, where we competed with archers from Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, the United Arab Emirates and Georgia.

We came back with one bronze medal secured by our teammate Arpi in the women's 21+ age group. We also gained a lot of important knowledge and experience.

Competitions play a key role in the continuous development of athletes, testing their skills, and gaining experience.

We want to thank all supporters of our club. Only with your help we will be able to involve more children in sports, organize and participate in such competitions.
