Open the door to the world of traditional archery
Introduction
Traditional archery is the craft passed down through generations, long before bows with sights and stabilizers existed. At Maidan Archery, we study the horsebow — a short, curved bow once drawn from horseback.
With no sights to rely on, what is trained is not precision but stillness. Every arrow demands proper posture, a conscious draw, and a release that is never hurried.
Approach
At Maidan Archery, adab — the manners and conduct that shape a person — is always placed above technique. This includes adab toward the equipment, the venue, and fellow archers.
Every preparation — observing adab, training, selecting equipment, applying technique, settling oneself, and prayer — is part of the effort. As for the result, whether the target is struck or not, it rests entirely with the decree of Allah.
Facilities
A comfortable indoor archery range located within a mosque complex (complete with spacious parking), supporting archers in keeping up with their prayers, insyaa Allah.
Archery materials structured across various learning levels.
Comprehensive supporting equipment for both theory and practical classes.
A room limited to a maximum of 8 archers per class, with a layout that can be adjusted to the archers' needs.
Maidan Archery is easily accessible via public or private transportation.
Archery is a means of self-development, a path toward becoming a better person.
Maidan Archery focuses on the study of traditional archery techniques while upholding religious and cultural values and the laws of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI), while also prioritizing safety, adab, and responsibility both inside and outside the training area.
