Marshland Archers welcomes anyone who would like to try archery with a view to taking up the sport and joining our club. Our coach-led beginners’ course will teach you the correct shooting technique and ensure you know how to shoot safely within a club environment.

The course runs over 4 sessions for a minimum of 7 hours’ tuition. If it is necessary for the coach to cancel a lesson due to unforeseen circumstances, an alternative session will be scheduled. We cannot accept beginners into the club unless they have received the 7 hours of coaching and gained our official beginners’ certificate.

Juniors: We allow juniors of 8 years and above to join a beginners’ course. In general, acceptance of a junior on the course is subject to the approval of the lead coach. Juniors under the age of 12 must be accompanied by parents at all times.

Equipment: We provide all the equipment for the course. Please do not buy any equipment yourselves. Once you have completed the course and joined the club, we can offer advice to help you purchase your own equipment.

Clothing: You should wear comfortable, close-fitting clothes. If it is chilly we recommend you wear several thin layers rather than one bulky jacket, and to bring a woolly hat. Please avoid wearing baggy jumpers or jackets as bowstrings tend to catch on them and spoil your shot!

Cost: £50.00 Juniors and Seniors
