Our Archery Beginners course is ideal if you want to learn archery so that you know what you are doing and can shoot unsupervised.
If you are not sure if this course is for you then book in for a taster session for an hour of basic tuition, before commiting to the full course.
You will learn about the equipment, how to shoot safely, and most importantly learn how to shoot and know what is right and what is not so good!
- We provide you instruction on shooting different styles, and support your first milestones in learning the skill of archery.
- On completion of the course you can consider yourself an archer and you can shoot unsupervised on our range.
- For Private Courses you can change the days/times you attend. This is ideal if you need to fit a course around work shift patterns or other commitments.
- We usually suggest 8 years of age as the lowest age on this course – do discuss your requirements with us and we can suggest the best option for young archers. For junior archers (14 and under) an adult will also need to participate if not already and experienced archer. This way you can understand what they are doing and join in the fun, as well as keep an eye on them on the range following the course.

Payment & Terms
This is normally required on booking. We can take over the phone or via a link we can email to you. Full terms are detailed here.
As you know, archery is a safe sport as long as we all follow a few basic rules. Our insurers are very strict on how we assess and demonstrate your competency to shoot. As a consequence we will need to ask you for some basic information before you can shoot, this will include your agreement to the rules of the range and is for the safety of everyone.
For under 18’s a parent or guardian must remain on the premises, but don’t fear, you can relax in our viewing area with a cappuccino, and watch all those arrows hitting the gold!
