Target Archery has been a sport for well over 600 years and apart from some modern materials which make bows and arrows stronger and lighter, it has remained fundamentally the same, simply developing from weapons for hunting and warfare.
So each time you pick up a bow it’s like stepping back in time, the way we shoot now is exactly the same as our medieval ancestors did.
There’s something very ancient about taking aim at the target and releasing your arrow, with a very rewarding and satisfying feeling when you strike gold.
We use modern 'recurve' bows, carbon arrows, finger tabs and arm bracers. Our instructors will kit you up and provide you with a bow suitable for your height and strength. It doesn't matter how strong you are, you can be as accurate as the next person.
Our coaching sessions are safe and progressive, giving you the chance to learn and practice at each stage. Everyone can shoot, you just need to be shown how first!
In addition to the Range Archery introductory session, we have introduced a new dimension to this activity with a Field Archery Course. This combines the art of archery with the concept of golf, where we work our way around a specialy designed course, keeping score as we go!
