  • said: we had such a great teacher. He made the course easy and fun. It was a great introduction to archery.

  • said: I really enjoyed the archery course. We learned a lot in 4 weeks and the tutors were great! By the end of the course, we were able to hit the target at 18m using sight and weight. I feel confident enough to go to an archery range and continue with the sport. The only negative is the room was quiet small. Overall great experience!
