About this range

Our outdoor archery range provides a relaxed, purpose-built place to practise with your own equipment. You shoot from a covered shooting area, with your own individual lane. Foam target bosses are provided at 16 and 26 yards. Simply bring your own bow, arrows and paper target faces.

With only four archers booked into each session and one archer allocated to each lane, there is no waiting for lanes and no overcrowding. The range is suitable for recurve, compound and longbow archers.

Floodlit archery on Wednesday evenings. Keep practising after daylight fades. All sessions must be booked in advance.

Equipment: bring your own

Standard archery range hire is for archers bringing their own equipment. If you do not have your own, our Have A Go Archery Sessions include the equipment and instruction you need.

  • Your own bow and arrows
  • Paper targets (available to buy at the centre)
  • Target pins (can be hired for a £3 refundable deposit, returned when all pins are handed back)

Not permitted: crossbows, and broadhead or hunting arrowheads. All equipment must be safe and in good working condition.
