Beginner’s Courses

New to archery and want to get started? Need a relaxing, sociable hobby to get you out of housework? Come to one of our beginner’s courses!

Our beginner’s course covers four lessons, and teaches you the basics of archery.

All equipment is provided. A qualified archery instructor/coach will lead the course, with help from experienced club members.

You will learn about safety, equipment selection, basic techniques and development of technique, scoring, etiquette and the next steps.
Also insurance included.

At the end, you can make an informed decision on whether you would like to pursue archery further. There is a minimum age of 12 years for those wishing to take part which allows for the need to have a certain level of strength and maturity.

We require at all lessons that a parent or guardian attends with the junior or vulnerable adult.

The club abides by the Archery GB policy for safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults.

The July course is fully booked our next course will be in the autumn. If you’re interested please email beginners@whiteleafbowmen.org.uk

The course only costs £120 for adults over 25 years of age & £60 for persons under 25years or all ages registered disabled.  Advanced bookings only.

Fun Shoots

Whiteleaf Bowmen offer an archery experience for private and corporate groups, with one to one guidance from an experienced archer with the emphasis on fun.

When: A Fun Shoot can be booked for Monday, Tuesday or Friday evenings during the months of June & July. Starting time is at 6:30pm to allow an hour and a half of actual shooting time in good daylight.

Age & numbers: Ages from 11 to 80+ are welcome. With a maximum group size of 20.

Itinerary:

• Each archer is provided with arm protection and basic equipment.
• A few words on safety is followed by a demonstration of the basic technique to the group.
• Each pupil will then start shooting with an instructor who will provide guidance as required.
• We use low poundage bows so no great strength is required and the target is set at 10 to 12 metres away, so everyone will hit the target.
• We aim to have no more than 3 or 4 pupils per target/instructor, to reduce waiting time.
• After a few rounds we introduce a few games and a competition if the group wishes.

Cost and booking:

For private groups the cost is £80.00 (booking fee cheque) in advance and £5 a head payable on the day.

For Corporate groups the cost is £150.00 (booking fee cheque) in advance and £10 a head payable on the day.
