Beginners Course
Please note that the beginners course is compulsary for all prospective members before they are allowed on the range.
General Information
We run beginners’ courses several times a year. Our course is normally four, two hour sessions which our dedicated coaches will show you the basics of archery and teach you the safety aspects.
Courses are typically run in the spring & summer and are subject to the availability of our venue and volunteer coaches. Parents are welcome to leave their child at archery/beginners courses unless they require help/supervision.
We provide all equipment for beginners, you only need to bring yourself and a snack! Photos may be taken at courses for use in media releases or coach training. If you do not want to be photographed please let us know.
You can also carry on using the club equipment until you are ready to purchase your own.
We will be happy to measure you for equipment and can offer advice on what to buy. Please do not buy any equipment without advice from a coach!
There will be a small amount of classroom information given and written material will be provided for everyone to read at their leisure.
The majority of the course is practical and shooting will be outside whenever possible. Toilets are avilable on site.
We will generally require a minimum of 6 participants to enable us to run the course.
The cost of the “Introduction to Archery” course is generally $180.00 for four lessons, this includes equipment hire and target fees for the duration of the course.
