Archery Day Kent

Archery in Kent - so much more than just an archery lesson! Quite simply, we love this venue. Set in 10 acres of Kent countryside, there are 20 different gaming zones for you to tackle with your bow - and we're talking targets way more creative than the usual roundel type.

We won't give everything away, but suffice to say with names like 'Agincourt valley', 'Merlin's wand' and the 'Medieval clout round' you'll have maximum fun with your bow and arrow. And during your archery round watch out for some 3D targets lurking in the long grass...you might just come face to face with a big bear, flying geese or the odd wild boar.

The emphasis at this archery venue in Kent is fun, but behind the lighthearted atmosphere, the organisers are all very well versed in the art of archery, with many being County champions or International players, so you know safety will be taken seriously and you'll get excellent tuition with clear explanations and easy to follow demonstrations of bow and arrow techniques.
No problem if you've never even picked up a bow before, as all equipment is provided, including an Olympic Recurve bow selected to be suitable for your height and build, unlimited sharp and blunt arrows, quiver, bracer and tab. If you have already tried archery, this venue offers a new take on the sport with the wealth of unusual targets, so experienced archers will be kept amused too.

And finally we must mention the catering at this archery centre in Kent. You will enjoy a BBQ spit roast chicken lunch, served on proper plates and with proper cutlery in the authentic archery outdoor HQ - something which many guests remark on.

Experience Summary: After and welcome and introduction you will be kitted with your Olympic Recurve bow, sharp and blunt arrows, quiver, bracer and tab. Each of the 20 game zones are unique and require a different skill, with the range varying from 15 to 300 feet. You will shoot traditional targets as well as more unusual targets including life size 3D bears, deer, wild boar and flying geese. You may be in competition with up to 50 participants on the day with the standard team size being 5. A BBQ lunch of spit roast chicken will be served in the rustic outdoor eating area.
