🎯 Archery Taster Session — Beginner Friendly Event
What it is:
Our coached “taster” archery session is a introductory experience where you’ll get to learn the basics of archery — how to handle a bow, aim and shoot arrows, and practice safely on a target range. These events are structured for complete beginners, so no previous experience is needed.
Who it’s suitable for:
Adults of all ages (no upper age limit as long as you can safely draw the bow).
Children aged 8 and over — the minimum age for most sessions is 8, and younger juniors must be accompanied by an adult throughout for safety.
What we provide:
👨🏫 Instructor-led coaching: Qualified coaches show you how to hold the bow, nock the arrow, and shoot safely.
🎯 Practice time: You’ll shoot multiple arrows under supervision, with tips to improve your technique.
🏆 Fun challenges: Our sessions include light games or friendly scoring to make it more engaging for all ages.
What’s included:
✔ All archery equipment (bows, arrows, protective gear)
✔ Safety briefing and instruction
✔ Supervised practice on targets
✔ Often small-group format so everyone gets plenty of shooting time.
Duration & pace:
Our beginner taster sessions run for 60 minutes, long enough to get comfortable shooting and have some fun without being too tiring for younger participants.
