For or those interested in giving archery a try, our Taster Session gives you a basic introduction to archery. All necessary equipment is provided at no additional cost. We cater for age ranges from six upwards but all under 18's must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the session.

 

The taster session runs for three hours and includes getting kitted out with a bow and arrows based on your reach, strength and dominant eye along with safety equipment.
