Have-a-go Sessions

Archery is an all-inclusive sport, and one recognised for it’s huge benefits to mental health, as well as physical. It’s also incredibly sociable allowing individuals, friends and families can shoot side by side on the shooting line.

The best way to get a taste for this fantastic sport is to come along for an informal ‘have-a-go’ session. Here we will get you quickly started on the basics of shooting, and give you the chance to get your arrows in the gold! All equipment will be provided, along with one-to-one support and guidance from our excitable members

We run have-a-go sessions across the year, so please get in touch to find out more, or keep an eye out on upcoming events on our Facebook page
