Try archery

Dates for the 2027 season. Sessions are at our field on Derby Road, Milford DE56 0RA. How to find us and where to park. Children must be aged 8 or over. For younger children, contact us first.

A single 1.5-hour session to find out if you like archery. A coach starts with a short safety briefing and shows you how to hold and shoot a bow. Then you shoot at targets for most of the session, with a coach beside you. Groups are small, so everyone gets help.

What beginners say

The opportunity to get stuck straight in was great. Also the coaches were so welcoming.

Rob, Clare and Shaun were extremely helpful, and delivered the course in a clear and enjoyable way. I’m looking forward to being part of the club.

All the coaches were great, the help was given gently but clearly with encouragement.

Before you come

A coach leads every session and we lend you a bow, arrows and arm guard. We shoot outdoors, so dress for the weather.

• Under-18s must have a parent or guardian with them for the whole session.
• Tell us about any medical conditions or special needs before the session.
• Bring any medication you need, food and drink, and sunscreen on sunny days.
• Wear flat, closed shoes. Sandals and flip-flops are not allowed for safety reasons.
• The grass can be wet, so wear shoes that can get wet or muddy.
• Tie long hair back.
• Avoid very loose or baggy clothes and hoodies with drawstrings. They can catch in the bowstring.
• You may need to remove facial piercings.
