Archery FAQs

The questions we’re most often asked by families and small groups before booking archery.

Who is archery suitable for?

Archery is ideal for families and small groups with a mix of ages and abilities. We regularly welcome children, teens and adults on the same session and will tailor the distance, targets and games to suit your group.

What is the minimum age?

Archery works well for over 8 years old. If you’re unsure whether it will suit your children, just ask when you enquire or book and we’ll be happy to advise.

Do parents and adults join in too?

Yes, absolutely. Parents and adults are very welcome. Most families book archery because everyone can take part together, with plenty of friendly competition if you’d like it.

Do we need any experience?

No experience is needed. Most people try archery for the first time with us. Your instructor will give a full safety briefing and simple coaching at the start, then stay with you throughout to help everyone improve and enjoy themselves.

How long does an archery session last?

A typical archery session lasts 90 minutes. It works really well as a single activity or combined with something else as part of a half-day of adventures.

What should we wear and bring?

Please dress for being outdoors, with comfortable layers and closed-toe shoes. Try to avoid very loose sleeves or scarves that could get in the way of the bow. We provide all the archery equipment you need.

Does archery run in the rain?

We run archery in most weather conditions, including light rain and cooler days. If the weather would make shooting unsafe, we’ll discuss alternative options or next steps with you in advance where possible.

Is it safe for children and beginners?

Yes. Safety is our first priority. Sessions are led by experienced instructors, with clear rules, a controlled shooting line and close supervision. We use appropriate equipment for the age and size of the group so everyone can take part safely and confidently.
