In days of yore, the king decreed that every male over the age of 12 had to practice archery by law. In more modern times it has become a sport that the whole family can enjoy.
This is a beginners course that is for the whole family both adults and juniors. (A great family sport but you must be at least 1.20cm tall) The course consists of 3 one and a-half hour sessions on an evening.
Whickham Thorns has full range of archery equipment to suit adults and juniors needs. On the course you will learn the main rules of safety, how to check for correct eye dominance, making sure you have the correct bow, also how to shoot in the correct manor accurately and hopefully how get a bull's-eye!
