COME & TRY DAYS
What is a Come and Try Day?
On a typical Come and try day, our sport of Archery is put on display and people are able to try out what our Club has to offer. Sessions are for beginners who have never tried archery before or those who are looking to see if Archery is for them. All participants, no matter what their personal level of strength or agility, are welcome to attend. Trained Archery Coaches will explain, and take any participants through a basic orientation, and safety session and then gently onto participation of drawing back a Bow and shooting an Arrow. Most people believe that Archery is more for kids than adults. Archery is an awesome sport where the whole family can be a part of it together.
It’s a family sport that encourages social skills, patience, focus, and self-control. So, how does Archery benefit older people? Archery has a lot of benefits for adults, such as getting into shape, reducing stress, and making new friends. All of which can drastically improve mental conditions and make each day easier to take on. By participating in one of our Come and Try Days, everyone can be encouraged and supported as they make an effort to try a physical activity of Archery. Apart from increasing levels of physical activity, Come and Try Days help to develop community and social networks, with many families, finding whole new groups of friends. When you come to Full Draw Field Archers, you’ll be surrounded by a positive community of Archers who want to see you succeed. Many times, we’ll see more experienced Archers take someone under their wing and help them improve their aim & their technique.
Our Come & Try sessions are designed for anyone genuinely interested in giving archery a proper go — not just as a one-off activity, but for those wanting to see whether this sport is something they’d like to continue with.
Sessions are open to participants aged 5 and up. Please keep in mind that some younger children may find it difficult to draw our club bows, and they must be able to follow instructions. Children aged 8–13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
For safety, all participants must wear fully enclosed shoes, long hair tied back, and comfortable outdoor clothing.
When you book into a Come & Try session, you’re welcome to attend up to three sessions in total as you explore the sport and gain confidence.
Booking is essential, as each session is capped at 10 participants.
Please note: session dates may change depending on weather conditions and coach availability.
Please standby for when we announce our next COME & TRY is on.
Each session will be restricted to only 10 participants.
