  • Introductory Archery Lesson – Hertfordshire

    Archery Experience Days: For anyone interested in the sport of archery, this
    Hertfordshire archery lesson is a wonderful introduction to its
    most authentic and traditional style – the challenging ‘bare bow’
    style. This means that the bow will not be equipped with a ‘sight’
    to help you aim, so your skills will be truly put to the test! You
    will be taught the basics of archery from a highly experienced
    Grand National Archery Society (GNAS) qualified and registered
    archery instructor.

    You will spend much of your archery lesson practicing and getting a
    feel for the weapon. Towards the end of your session, yourself and
    the rest of your archery class will take part in a fun competition
    to see who is the top archer of the day!Once you and the rest of
    your group have arrives at the Hertfordshire archery centre, your
    archery lesson begins with a safety briefing to introduce you to
    the centre and the correct behaviour that is expected when you are
    out on the archery range.

    When your briefing has finished, your GNAS qualified archery
    instructors will give the group a lesson on the proper stance to
    employ for archery. You will also learn how to properly hold the
    bow and how to load an arrow, ready to fire!

    After this you will have plenty of time to practice, learning from
    experience how to make that arrow go where you want it to! Once you
    have gotten to grips with using the weapon, you will spend the
    remainder of your archery lesson competing in a fun contest, trying
    to outdo the other budding archers in your group. You will get to
    shoot 16 arrows, and will be marked on how true your aim is – and
    at the end of the lesson, your instructor will present you with a
    certificate that displays your score!

  • Clay Pigeon Archery Experience – Bedfordshire

    Archery Experience Days: This clay pigeon archery experience is a wonderful and very
    unusual new experience. Using the same concept as clay pigeon
    shooting, this archery lesson simply uses a bow and arrow in place
    of a shotgun, and foam targets instead of clay discs. As the foam
    targets are launched into the air (or along the ground, to imitate
    the movement of a rabbit), you have to channel your inner William
    Tell and try to hit them with your carefully aimed arrows! The clay
    pigeon archery adds a whole new element to more traditional
    archery, and you will enjoy the challenge of trying to hit moving
    targets with your arrows.

    Over 90 minutes you should see great improvement in you skill and
    confidence. The archery instructors are professional and very
    experienced, and will be on hand throughout offering advice and
    tips.You will be welcomed at the centre, then your instructor will
    deliver a short briefing. You will be introduced to the equipment
    and spend an hour and a half working on your precision and aim.
