Beginners Courses


What's all this about a Beginners Cousre....??

    Aim4sport runs beginners courses lead by Qualified Archery Coaches throughout the year.

    The course is a recognised GNAS course and a certificate will be issued to those who pass all the safety requirements.

    Once completed the certificate can be presented to any archery club as proof that you have met the requirements for shooting safely, and if you meet all of the club's criteria, may will be eligible to join.

What size are the Classes and
how long will the course run....??



    Our Classes are small and we feel this makes you feel as though you are receiving quality instruction, and also allows you to take on board the information at your own pace. The course gives the new archer not only basic instructions but some coaching hints too.

    The course will be held over three two hour structured lessons with one lesson each week. A fourth lesson is given with minimal instruction so you can put your new skills to the test.

What is covered in the course...??
