Beginners Courses
We run several group beginners courses every year, led by fully qualified archery coaches and with all equipment provided. Each course consists of 6 hours of training completed over 2 x 3 hour morning sessions. Successful completion of both sessions 1 and then 2 will allow you to subsequently join our club and we will offer follow on sessions to help get you started.
Sessions 1 and 2 cost £30 (18+) or £15 (U18) each, and both sessions are required to join the club as a full member. Session 1 will cover safety and point of aim archery and session 2 will introduce the use of sights and scoring. More details will follow once we've finalised the course structure.
