Archery TASTER SESSIONS AND Beginners' Courses AVAILABLE FROM SPRING 2025
Ascham have been helping new archers on their journey since 1942! I
Archery is a low impact sport with numerous physical and mental benefits and is highly accessible to all.
We have just moved to a new ground and hope to offer beginners' sessions in Spring 2025. Please get in touch if you would like to know when places are available.
TASTER SESSION
The two hour session is a great introduction to the sport of archery. We teach the basics of shooting safely, and you'll have the opportunity to shoot arrows during the session.
At this session, you'll receive tuition as part of a small group, and receive individual coaching and guidance from our qualified coaches.
BEGINNERS' Course
Our beginners' course involves six two hour sessions.
On this course, you'll receive instruction in small groups, individual coaching and guidance from our qualified coaches as you develop your archery skills.
Upon completion of your beginners' course, you're encouraged to apply for membership to join the club, and you'll be able to enter tournaments and shoot as a guest at other clubs (where allowed).
Often, new members will go on to buy their own equipment, and we can provide guidance on what to go for and where to get it.
Weather disclaimer: outdoor archery is somewhat weather dependent, and seeing as we are in the UK, this occasionally means we are unable to deliver a planned taster session or beginners' course session due to conditions. When this happens, we will let you know as quickly as we can and arrange another session.
What to bring
We provide all equipment for the taster session and full course - bows, arrows, and accessories. You only need to be dressed correctly, and bring your enthusiasm to learn!
What to wear
You'll need to wear comfortable, reasonably close-fitting clothing and shoes that fully cover your feet. Safety rules mean that we'll ask you to remove any piercings on your face and front of your body.
