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.

- 22nd June - Barnby Dunn & Kirk Sandall Sports Association Family Day

Lots of fun in the Yorkshire sunshine
27th August 2023
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.
