Rugby Archers offer beginners’ courses throughout the year for adults and children aged 9 years and over who are interested in taking up archery.
Other than knowing your left from your right there is absolutely no experience required to take a beginner’s course. Unless you are an experienced archer, taking one of our courses is the only way to become a shooting member.
We will advertise our beginners’ courses on our home page, and on our Facebook and Instagram pages. We also have a mailing list – sign up below.
Price
The course costs £60 per junior (under 18) and £70 per senior.
Course duration
Each course is made up of three two-hour sessions held on the same day for consecutive weeks. Details for each session will be available in the advert. Please arrive at each session around 15 minutes early to allow time to set up the equipment.
Under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to all sessions. There are no exceptions to this.
Equipment
All equipment you will need for the course is provided by Rugby Archers. There is no additional charge for this. If you have your own equipment, you are welcome to bring it along to your course, but you will start off shooting on our equipment and we reserve the right to ask you to continue using our equipment while we assess your shooting.
Juniors
Children over the age of 9 are welcome to attend. For those under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must be present during the whole of each session.
If there is any doubt in your mind that your child will not be able to pull a bow, please do not book as places on our courses are non-refundable. Instead, contact us via email and we will arrange a date for your child to come and test out our bows. If all goes well, you can always book them onto a following course.
As the parent / guardian of a child, you might want to consider taking the course yourself at the same time, rather than sitting and watching.
Payments
When booking, please fill out all the details before you pay. To do so, click on “Get a ticket” at the top of the page and click through, adding the details as you go. Once you have filled out all your details, please pay within 3 days to secure your place. After 3 days, if you have not paid we will release your space for someone else to book.
We currently only accept payment through bank transfer. All the payment details are listed on the ClubEvent booking page. Please use your name as a reference.
