Information |
We suggest a minimum age of 10 years for our standard courses, but please feel free to contact us if you have a younger child who is interested. Juniors (under 18) must be accompanied by parents, or parentally approved guardians, at all times when at the club. We provide all the equipment you will need for the course. Please do not buy any equipment yourselves, even if you are confident that you want to take up archery. We offer advice during the course on purchasing your first set of equipment. You should wear comfortable but close-fitting clothing - baggy jumpers and coats are not recommended. It is advisable to wear several thin layers rather than one bulky one. Items of jewellery or personal body piercing that might be caught by the bowstring should be removed and long hair should be tied back. Footwear must fully enclose the toes and the front of the foot to protect your feet from fallen arrows, so please do not wear sandals. Please bring a lightweight waterproof. See our CADAC website for more information regarding our beginner's courses. |
