Have-a-Go
A "Have-a-Go" archery session is a great beginner-friendly introduction to the sport, offering an opportunity to try archery for the first time. These sessions allow you to shoot a few arrows at a short distance target, in a fun atmosphere.
We provide all the necessary equipment, along with instruction by qualified coaches and experienced archers. They are suitable for people of all ages and abilities - and are often held as part of local events.
2026 "Have-a-Go" Events:

A great time was had by all when we hosted a mini 'have a go' for a group of disabled people all suffering from MS. Having recieved training in the basics of archery the group went on to play a game which required the bursting of balloons in set order. This was a change from the groups normal activity and soon became very competitive whith each team scoring highly.
7th May 2023
We were pleased to support the coronation celebrations at the Barnby Dunn and Kirk Sandall Sports Association event.
The weather was good and our 'have a go' was very well recieved, and gave a wide variety of people the oppourtunity to try a their hands at archery.
