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.

We're planning on attending the following events in 2026 - come along on the day and try your hand at archery! Suitable for all ages
- Askern Show 2026 Saturday 13th June
- Tickhill Gala 2026 Saturday 4th July

It's always great to host a Have-A-Go at our home sports ground! Today we took part in the BDKSPC Community Fun Day - meeting plenty of folks channelling their inner Robin Hoods! It was lovely to chat to all the folks on the range about our fabulous sport

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.

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.
