BEGINNERS FAQs

Please see our dedicated beginners page for information on the process to follow when signing up for a beginners course, the current waiting list for courses, the current cost of a course, what the course covers over the five-week period, etc.

A map to Norton Sports Charity, where we shoot during both the indoor and outdoor seasons, is provided above. Please see our dedicated Sessions Page for information on our current club session times (please note that these change for the indoor and outdoor seasons, as explained on the sessions page). Beginners course sessions take place on Sundays; see the Beginners Page for more information.

Please email us and let us know how long ago you used to shoot and your level of experience.

Fees for juniors (8-17 years old) and all three categories of seniors (18-24, 25+ and archers with disabilities) are outlined in the following documents:

Outdoor Fees 2023-24
Indoor Fees 2023-24

The club has a range of different poundage bows for both right-eye-dominant and left-eye-dominant archers (as well as arrows, quivers, arm guards, finger tabs, etc.), and these are available to hire for 50p per session on top of the normal line fees (see question above). We recommend using club equipment following the completion of a beginners’ course as you will still be settling into shooting; as you develop in your archery and start to think about buying your own equipment our coaches will be very happy to discuss this with you to help you find a bow that suits you… and most of all, one that you enjoy shooting.
