Saint Edmunds Archers run regular beginners courses for anyone interested learning the basics of archery.

Courses usually run for four consecutive weeks and are held on Saturday mornings from 10:00 to 12:00. All equipment is provided and we welcome individals, families and groups of all ages* and abilities. (*Note that is no minimum age, however one has to be physically able to use the smallest bows we have which is typically from about 8 years of age.)

The beginners course includes:

• Range Safety
• Selection of correct equipment
• Basic Barebow technique
• Arrow Retrieval
• "String Walking", "Face Walking" & "Gapping"
• Progression to shooting with sights.
• Scoring

Each session starts with a warm up followed by instruction and guided shooting. Learning is reinforced with exercises to emphasise specific points or techniques and finish with a fun activity and cool down.
