Do you want to join an archery club in the Merseyside area or just want to try archery?

High Elm Archers run beginners courses at regular intervals throughout the year, both indoors at Formby High and outdoors at Altcar training camp.

The courses are run by our qualified archery coaches with the assistance of experienced club archers.

The course is an introduction to the sport of archery, for people who are interested in learning how to participate in the sport of archery safely.

During the course, candidates will be instructed in:

• range layout and safety
• how to assemble a recurve takedown bow
• barebow recurve archery
• free style recurve archery using a sight
• introduction to tournaments and rounds

Courses cost £60 per person

On successful completion of the course you will receive a certificate to show that you have reached a level of competence that will allow you to apply to join an archery club, however, you should note that completion of a beginners course does not guarantee club membership.
