  • 18th and 25th September,

We provide all the equipment required for the course, which are all outdoors at Wicken Sports Ground. Juniors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the course.

September Round Up

Indoor shooting at Akeley Wood has recommenced after what might be termed a little non-local difficulty. Venue excellent and only took us one night to remember how to set up! Also we still have Sunday afternoon outdoor shooting at Wicken to cater for those who wish to brave the British weather and get confused about their bow set ups.

Beginners Course News

October courses now fully booked, as is another quickly arranged course in November (14th/21st) – next course will be in 2022.
