The fee includes coaching, use of all archery equipment and light refreshments. 

We provide all necessary equipment for our beginner courses, including bows, arrows, and shooting accessories. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm!

At your first session, we'll fit you for size with an appropriate training bow and set of arrows, and we'll provide these at each session.

Once you've completed your beginner's course and decide to continue with archery we can lend you club items, and advise on buying your own archery kit. 

Having fun while being safe is our top priority at Ascham. To ensure you get the best experience, we ask that you follow these instructions regarding clothing and accessories.

Clothing: comfortable, non-restrictive, reasonably close-fitting clothes (no dangling laces or baggy tops), fully covering the torso past the midriff, and layered suitable for the weather. Hats with small, no brims, or peaks turned to the back are fine. 

Shoes: flat shoes which must fully cover the foot (no open sandals). 

Hair: long hair should be tied back. Hijabs should be secured to be close-fitting. 

Piercings: for your safety any facial piercings such as nose, lip and chin studs, bars or rings must be removed before shooting. Likewise, we'll ask you to remove any piercings on the front of your body before attending. Earrings are ok as long as they are small and not dangly. 

If in doubt, just ask!

We encourage beginners to apply for membership after completing the six session course. We also welcome people joining from other clubs as members and as session guests.

Yes! Children must be at least 9 years old in order to learn archery, and if you're bringing children under 14, we ask that you please stay for the duration of each session. Our junior rate applies to under 21s.
