If you want to learn a more about archery so that you know what you are doing and can shoot unsupervised then this is for you!
If you are not sure if this course is for you then book in for a taster session for an hour of basic tuition for only £16, 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 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.
- These sessions are available in small groups and will start on the same day/time each week.
- If you cannot make one session then let us know and we can usually fit you in on another course at the same point.
- 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.
- Basic Course Structure
- Week 1 – Basic archery – ‘barebow’
- Week 2 – Using a bow-sight
- Week 3 – Scoring your arrows
- Week 4 – Finding your favourite and using different bows
WARNING: Archery is addictive ! But have no fear…on completion of the course you will know what style of archery you favour and know how to select one of our bows and the correct arrows.
You can come and use our range and hire our kit, and we can also help you work out what would be the the best thing for your first purchase of your own equipment.
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!
