Beginner's Courses

Perhaps you've never shot a bow before or maybe you've had a go at archery at an activity day or while on holiday. Either way we welcome anybody who wants to try archery with a view to taking up the sport and joining our club. Our instructors will teach you the right technique and ensure you know how to shoot safely.

Courses

Courses are a minimum of 6 hours spread over 3 to 4 weeks and are generally held once a quarter.

Course 1 (1st quarter / January-March, indoors)

Course 2 (2nd quarter / April-June, outdoors)

Course 3 (3rd quarter / July-September, outdoors)

Course 4 (4th quarter / October-December, indoors)

A course normally consists of four, weekly 2 hour sessions. If it is necessary to cancel a lesson due to bad weather, or you know in advance that you'll miss a particular week (e.g. if you are on holiday), then it can be made up later. If you're unable to attend a particular lesson please let us know beforehand. We cannot accept beginners into the club unless they have recieved a minimum of six hours coaching.

During your course you will be provided with all the equipment necessary to shoot with (this is included in the course fee). You will be taught by qualified coaches and experienced archers.

You must confirm your place with the club prior to the course starting - numbers are strictly limited and we cannot accomodate people on the day.
