Starting archery at Adel

The Bowmen of Adel welcome new members of all abilities. Our only requirement is that you have completed a six week beginners course. If you are already an archer but looking for a new club please e-mail Nick. For membership fees see about us.

Getting started 

The best way to get started is to come along to a have-a-go day when members of the public and friends are invited to try out the sport. The next Have-a-go sessions will be in April 2010 and on the first May Bank Holiday (subject to confirmation).

There will be a small charge. All children must be accompanied by an adult during the have-a-go. Minimum age is 10.

Learning to shoot

If you have already had a taste of archery and want to take it further you will need to go on a course before you can join any archery club. If you are interested in taking a beginners course at Adel please see adjacent box.

All children must be accompanied by an adult during the course.
Minimum age is 10.


Have-a-go
Next session April 2010 (we have completed our programme of have-a-go sessions for 2009)
You do not need to have any archery equipment as this will be provided on the day. However, you will need to wear suitable clothing. Aim to keep warm and dry by wearing two or three thin layers. Try and select clothing that is not too baggy, especially on the upper body and arms. Again, wear sensible shoes or boots. As we cannot guarantee good weather, bring something waterproof.

A limited range of refreshments will be available. Click here for photos of previous courses.
