Target Archery

Many people are introduced to archery through Target Archery. You will learn how to shoot a bow safely, and shoot at targets between 10m to 20m (30 to 60 feet). You may learn to shoot Bare Bow (no shooting aids) or Freestyle (with a site for aiming). We use a variety of games and challenges to help you improve your shooting whilst having lots of fun.

Field Archery Days

These events are a wonderful way to relax and enjoy being in the forest or open countryside. In a relaxed easy going atmosphere you will be introduced to Field Archery, in which we try to simulate the art of hunting in English woodlands.

Of course we do not hunt real animals. Instead we use a variety of two dimensional and three dimensional targets placed in a beautiful woodland setting. Archers shoot at targets of varying sizes, and the level of skill needed can be varied by setting targets over more difficult terrain.

With emphasis on safety, and developing good shooting technique, you will be taught how to use your equipment correctly. After some practice you will have a chance to move on to shooting over varying distances, and perhaps venturing onto the "hunting trail". Field Archery can be done as a full day activity.
