Our aim is to introduce adults and young people to one of the fastest growing sports around
Indigo Archery came about in 2018 following a few years of coaching and many archery parties locally. We want to make archery more available in the area so we decided to setup an indoor range with a shop which just seems to get bigger by the day!
We take Archery out to the community and break down the misconceived barriers that may stop people from entering into the sport.
Indigo Archery is a family business specialising in teaching Archery to all ages. We are passionate about providing you the opportunity to try archery and if you want to participate regularly we can help you develop your skills to hit that target consistently.
Our INDOOR range is near Radstock / Midsomer Norton means that we are set-up and ready to shoot. We also have a portable range that we set up at many places around the Bristol, Bath and Somerset areas for events and parties.
Equipment
We have a wide selection of equipment that allows us to shoot in a variety of locations both indoors and outside. Our extensive range of Bow and Arrow sizes allows us to equip archers from ages 4 to 104 with the right equipment.
We also work closely with many other Archery GB qualified coaches to remain up to date with the latest developments in teaching and equipment to make your day go smoothly and safely.
Rachel
Qualification: ArcheryGB – Session Coach
Favourite style: Barebow
My passion for archery began on Scout camp, in the pouring rain! It was the only sport I have ever been any good at, so when the opportunity to become a Scout Archery Leader came along, I jumped at the chance! I have been teaching archery to Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and their families ever since.
I worked as a Primary school teacher for 26 years, and love the feeling of helping someone to achieve something new.
Jason
Qualification: Level 1 Award in Coaching Archery
Favourite style: Recurve
Scouting has played an enormous part in my life in learning and teaching practical skills. I learnt archery at a young age as well as windsurfing, sailing, canoeing and yachting;? As a result I became a qualified water sports instructor and worked at a few outdoor centres in Wales and helped run a retail shop in Pembrokeshire.
Having worked in many different roles since moving from Wales I have come back to teaching and focussed on Archery; and even shoot at the odd competition! Although I do still keep my hand in on the tools as a qualified electrician www.indigosparks.co.uk
I do enjoy the technical side of the sport, so I am always keen to tune a bow, be this recurve or a compound, or you will find me on the range coaching at all levels!
Kyra
Qualification: ArcheryGB – Session Coach
Favourite style: Recurve
My love of archery began more than 10 years ago. After shooting with scouts for a few years, I received my first bow on my 10th birthday.
I now shoot at competition level in both county and national competitions, winning gold and setting a record at my first county competition.
I have also had the amazing opportunity to be coached by the Korean Olympic coach Kim Hyung-Tak; not only did that improve my own shooting technique, but it also allowed me to pick up some helpful coaching tips.
I qualified as a Session Coach (Level 1) at 16 years old, and I hope to go on to complete my Development Coach qualification in the future.
Supporting younger athletes of all abilities is a passion of mine, and I hope to inspire the next generation of coaches.
Isaac
As you will have gathered by this point we are an archery family. Both our children became archers as soon as they could hold a real bow.
Favourite style: All styles!
You will often find Isaac on the range; If it bends and has a string he will find a way! Isaac will shoot absolutely any bow type including compound, recurve, longbow, recurve and horsebow. He is also currently learning the dark art of compound bow tuning.
