Archery in Sittingbourne

Shoot arrows in a corner of England's green and pleasant land when you try archery in Sittingbourne! Head down to this pleasant part of Kent and see if you can get your arrows quivering on these all-inclusive sessions.

It's a lovely little set up here at Wormdale Farm, just outside the picturesque village of Newington in the heart of the Swale district in Kent. As you turn into the drive way and head up to this outdoor pursuit centre, it's a real breathe of fresh air for you. Proper Kentish countryside and greenery all around. The perfect setting for having a go at archery.

For these events you will be divided into shooting squads. You will each be allocated a bow (this Sittingbourne school uses modern re-curve type bows) according to your physique. Then it's time for a briefing where the simple rules to ensure safety is maintained at all times are explained to you. Then you will head out to the archery challenge area.

And it's just as you'd expect from the farm estate setting in Swale. Freshly mown lawns create a sizeable shooting area that's nice and flat, with the targets placed between 15 and 20 metres away from you. They are traditional round-style targets, with black, blue, red and gold concentric circles and your job is to get as close as you can to the golden circle with your arrows. Simple.

Well, we say that, but there is quite a knack to getting the right stance, controlling your breathing, setting up your shoot and the releasing your arrow to fly true and straight to land with a satisfying thud into the target. Top-notch coaching is included though, so you'll certainly be pointed in the right direction to succeed, as it were!
