Archery Guyana gets new affiliate club, ProArchers Guyana
Archery Guyana, the governing body of archery in Guyana and the sole entity affiliated to World Archery, the international governing body for the Olympic sport of archery, on Thursday granted affiliate status to Pro Archers Guyana. This is part of Archery Guyana’s mandate as a national member association of World Archery, to administer the sport at a local level.

Archery Guyana Secretary General Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon and Director and Head Coach Nicholas Hing presented the official certificate of registration and affiliation of Pro Archers Guyana to Coaches Anand Mangra and Narda Mohamed-Mangra, its founders.
The club was founded in October 2020 and has since introduced archery to persons across the length and breadth of Guyana. They currently train at the National Stadium, the National Racquet Centre, and the Gandhi Youth Organisation (Woolford Avenue, Georgetown) on weekends and during the week.
Members of ProArchers Guyana will now access the substantial benefits of Archery Guyana, being an affiliate club. Individual members may affiliate separately to Archery Guyana if their club does not wish to affiliate, but as Secretary General Persaud-McKinnon urged, “I encourage more clubs that have been recently formed to affiliate, since this expands participation opportunities for club members.”
