Harlequin Bowmen

Have A Go Sessions

You'll never know until you try!

At a 'have a go' session, you will receive sufficient instruction to safely shoot a recurve bow at a target and will then have the opportunity to shoot under supervised conditions. The length of shooting, fees etc. will be determined by the nature of the event: a have-a-go at a school fete will offer a different experience than a 'works outing' session.

If you are interested in taking part in a 'have a go' session, please watch the news section of this site for the next event, or contact one of the coaching team.

Organising a Have-a-Go

If you would like to invite Harlequin Bowmen to run a 'have-a-go session' for you, please get in touch with the coaching team. These events are run on a voluntary basis by club members, but do ask for a small fee to cover transport, equipment wear and tear, and a small contribution to the club.

If you are not shooting at Harlequin's field, a coach will have to visit and assess the safety aspects of the proposed venue. As a guideline, you will need a field with at least 110 yards free space from the shooting line.
These sessions are run on a voluntary basis by the club members, and so are contingent upon the availability of a qualified coach and sufficient club volunteer helpers to run the event.
In all matter relating to safety, the club coach is final arbiter. If a safe layout and operation cannot be agreed, the have a go session will be cancelled.
The club provides all equipment, warning signs etc. These require vehicular access to deliver, and some time to set up and take down.
