Monthly Taster Session
We run taster sessions on the first Sunday of the month, between March & September, on our field at 11 o’clock. You will be provided with a bow and shown the basics of shooting.
We are inclusive and will do our best to provide support for the less able among us. We do suggest however, that if support is needed, a carer come long and also attend the taster session/beginner course.
The taster courses are £5 per person. This will then be deducted from your beginner course price if you wish to persue archery with us.

If you find yourself enjoying this fantastic sport then the next step is to join one of our Beginner Courses. Once again just contact us using the contact form to organise which one you will be joining. Subject to availability.
This course runs over 3 sessions and comprises 2+ hours tuition each session. Our coaches are all Archery GB qualified to teach archery.

On completing the course all participants will take away an understanding of the basic skills of barebow and freestyle shooting, basic technique, safety and etiquette to the level required to join a Club and a certificate of Attendance which is acceptable proof they have attended a Beginners’ Course and therefore safe to shoot in a Club environment.
