Archery is one of our most popular land-based activities because it is easy to understand, exciting to take part in and suitable for a wide range of groups.
Participants are guided by our instructors through the basics of stance, aiming, technique and safe shooting. Whether it is a first attempt or a friendly group competition, archery gives everyone the chance to improve, concentrate and celebrate progress.
A clear, structured session that helps every participant feel safe, included and ready to take part
Our instructor explains how the activity works, how to use the equipment safely and what to listen out for during the session.
Participants are shown how to stand, hold the bow, aim and release with control.
Everyone gets time to practise, adjust and build confidence with each round.
Sessions can include scoring games, team challenges or light-hearted competitions to keep the activity engaging.
Archery can be used across a wide range of visits and programmes.
It is especially useful for school groups, youth groups, holiday clubs, community groups and corporate teams because it gives everyone a clear goal and a shared experience without needing previous experience.
Participants can work at their own pace while still feeling part of the group.
Archery can sit alongside bushcraft, climbing, low ropes, problem solving and water activities as part of a full activity programme.
Our team will provide all activity equipment and instructions. Participants should arrive ready for outdoor activity and changing weather.
Comfortable outdoor clothing is recommended. Avoid loose items that may get in the way during the activity.
Clear guidance will be given throughout the session to keep the activity safe and enjoyable.
Archery is beginner-friendly and designed to help participants learn step by step.
