We have bought an extra target and miscellaneous personal protective items for the extra numbers. Fortunately, I have my own collection of bows and arrows to make up the shortfall in club equipment.


We have equipment for you to use, and the target fee is only £2 per session, which is a bargain! Archery is quite a gentle exercise sport. Drawing a bow improves your upper body physique and general stance. It improves your concentration in a relaxed sort of way as you send three arrows down the range to form a tight group in the gold bull centre of the target (Don't be discouraged if it takes a little practice to do that!). The bonus: you get a bit of gentle walking exercise too as you retrieve your arrows (especially if you shoot distance shots).

Cleaning kit and hitting gold!
