Beginners Courses

We have been severely limited what we could and could not do under covid rules, so we are glad to  return to normal in 2022.

The Howard Bowmen are planning on running one beginner's course a month for the 2022 outdoor season,  with a maximum number of 12 participants.

The course is Archery GB approved and successful completion of the course allows participants to join the Howard Bowmen Archery club or any other Archery GB affiliated club (subject to local rules).

• Courses are run over a single Saturday. 
• All equipment and coaching is provided, as are refreshments but a packed lunch is recommended.
•  All coaches are Archery GB qualified and they are supported by senior archers of the club. 
• in 2022 the cost of the course is £90 per person. 

During the course you will learn how to shoot a recurve bow safely and about other aspects of the sport. There is a strong emphasis on learning the safety aspects of archery as well as the techniques of shooting. By the end of the course you are usually able to shoot independently with others in a safe manner.

This is the start of the journey! If you join Howard Bowmen further coaching is available free of charge on club nights.

If you are interested in attending a beginner’s course please contact Mr. D. Elliott, the beginner’s Course organiser via email on david.elliott149@ntlworld.com and he will allocate you a place on the waiting list.

Places on upcoming courses are offered on a first come first served basis.
