We need to arrange a coach to help you.

Starting Out in Archery

1. Taster Session

The first step is to book a Taster Session. Here an experienced coach will lend you all the equipment you need, take you through the basics, and get you shooting correctly and safely.

We run these sessions on selected Fridays throughout the year. The club secretary arranges the session dates once numbers are confirmed.

2. Beginner’s Course

The next step is to book a Beginner’s Course. Here an experienced coach will help you develop all the basic skills you need to shoot at a club. You’ll try both Barebow and Olympic Recurve styles. The coach will teach you aspects of range safety, safe shooting, shooting technique and preparation for club membership.

The course comprises five two-hour sessions, running on consecutive Wednesday and Friday club nights. You must attend all 5 sessions in order to complete the course.
