FAQ's

Do we operate to current Covid-19 guidelines?

Most definitely, in fact where possible we try to exceed the requirements. Your safety is as important to us as is our own. Please see further details below. 

 

What facilities?

As members of Deer Park Archers (Shurdington, Cheltenham) we are fortunate to have access to a target range, covered shooting area and indoor range. 

 

Beginners/Taster FAQ's

 

Are there going to be lots of people standing around waiting for their turn?

Having been a provider for a number of years we have recognised that this could be an issue. We provide more than enough coaches for a group and a format which will ensure people are actively engaged. As we have done a lot of work in schools it is absolutely essential that the pupils are not left to stand around, we have developed a system which will ensure minimal non shooting time.

 

I haven't done any physical activity for sometime will I be able to take part?

Yes, we supply very low poundage equipment which we can match to individual requirements.

 

What if it's raining?

We would advise organisers to ensure that participants bring appropriate clothing and foot ware. Unless it is thunder and lightning we would normally continue with the activity.

 

When I did it before I caught my arm, will this happen again?

In 90% of the cases this suggests you have been poorly taught, in which case we can help you avoid this. In 10% it maybe a physical characteristic we will provide the appropriate protection.

 

Last time I did it I couldn't hit the target, will I be demoralised again?

Appropriate coaching will ensure that you hit the target, we are equipped to support you having a successful session.

 

Intermediate and Experienced Archers FAQ's

 

What bow types do you support?

We have had success coaching all bow types, particularly compound. 

 

What is your coaching style?

Friendly, enthusiastic and empowering the archer to reach their full potential and be able to contribute towards their own development.
