DiKi Archery & Sports (P.) Ltd., the first
pro-shop set up by professionals, was founded in
2005 with the purpose of promoting and
developing modern archery as an sport for all
gender and ages. Mr Kishore Kumar Gurung
(popularly known as KK in the archery fraternity
here) and Mr Dipak Raj Gurung, Level 2 certified
archery coaches, felt that a professional
archery sports shop was needed in order to serve
the archery enthusiasts. In the past, archers
had ordered bow directly from overseas without
prior knowledge of the sports. As a result the
most of the equipment were either not suited for
the archers or some were defective. It not only
wasted their limited resources but also caused a
lot of anxiety and frustration. DiKi Archery &
Sports (P.) Ltd. aims to serve the archery
community in Nepal by providing their sound
knowledge of archery and sell the right
equipment at an affordable and reasonable
prices. All the equipment sold by DiKi is
thoroughly tested and backed by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
In 2004, Kishore and Dipak helped Nepal Archery
Association in selecting the national archers to
participate in the SAF (South Asian Federation)
Archery Championship to be held in Dhaka which
never materialized due to ill-fated tsunami.
Nonetheless the selection process which saw
archers shooting double 70 and Olympic Knock-out
Round can be called the first Modern Archery
Tournament ever held in Nepal confirming to the
FITA rules triggering the great deal of
attention.
In 2005, the duo participated in the 1st
National Outdoor Archery Championship. The
purpose of the Championship was to shortlist
archers for the upcoming 10th South Asian Games
in the 2006 to be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The top four winners (including Dipak and KK)
saw themselves taking part in the 14th Asian
Archery Championship in N. Delhi from 4 to 10
November 2005.
Though the traditional archery is very much
alive in Nepal, especially in Thakali, Magar and
Gurung (Mustang and Manang) communities, the
modern archery is just beginning to take off.
Since then our archers have represented Nepal in
many international archery championship and
Grand Prix.
DiKi Archery will be promoting Archery in Nepal
and support enthusiasts with professional advice
and supplying equipment to suit their individual
archery needs. DiKi Archery & Sports is the only
professional pro-shop to help, provide and
promote professional Archery in Nepal. |
