It's a great value for an enriching experience in the world of archery. Please note that the minimum age requirement for the beginners' course is 10 years, and children must always be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

If you're completely new to archery and want to dip your toes in the water before committing to the full beginners' course, Tockington Archers highly recommends attending our regular have-a-go sessions. These sessions take place on the second Friday of each month, from May to September, and provide all the required equipment as well as expert instruction from either a qualified Archery GB coach or an experienced club archer. To secure your spot, make sure to book in advance by contacting our club secretary.

Furthermore, we invite you to participate in the Start Archery Week, an exciting annual event supported by Tockington Archers. Held on a Sunday in May, this event offers a unique chance to try archery, mingle with our club members, and witness captivating demonstrations of different bows and shooting styles. Rest assured, all the equipment and instruction you'll need will be readily available.

It is important to note that the minimum age requirement for any have-a-go session is 10 years, and children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout.

Tockington Archers also advises our new members to consult with our senior club members when purchasing their first set of equipment. Their expertise will guide you in making the right choices. We kindly urge you to steer clear of secondhand shops or general sports equipment dealers when acquiring archery gear. However, if you do happen to obtain secondhand equipment, it is strongly recommended to have it thoroughly checked by one of our senior club members before using it.
