Indoor Archery
Our Indoor Range is extremely popular with first time archers and experienced archers alike. Sessions are held every Thursday evening, with sessions available for a number of skill levels. Due to their popularity indoors sessions are currently done on a bookings only basis and we are unable to accept walk-ins. Anyone, of any age can come and try this fun sport, we can also accomodate wheelchairs. We ask that parents who bring children remain to supervise, or pick up a bow themselves to give it a try.
​
If you are bringing along your own equipment, it will need to be checked over prior to shooting. All bows must be under 60lb draw weight and all arrows must only have field points attached. For safety reasons all archers must wear suitable closed toe shoes; no sandals, jandals or high heels allowed. Our hall can also get very cold in the winter as there is no heating, so we suggest you dress warm.
