All events begin with a safety briefing and a run down of how the archery combat equipment works, the rules and time to practise using the bows and arrows.

The equipment has been specifically designed with safety in mind. The arrows have a round rubber tip which absorb the impact. The bows are made from a flexible material that is difficult to break.

Do the kids/Juniors need to be of similar ages?

Venue Questions
What is a 3G pitch?
3G pitches are the most significant and successful development in synthetic surface technology designed for football and rugby at both competitive and recreational levels.
In 3G turf, the pile (artificial grass 'blades') is supported by a thin base layer of sand, and by an infill of rubber crumb.
The pile height ranges from 40mm to 65mm depending on which primary sport is to be played on the surface.
Is there parking and changing facilities at my venue?
Most of our venues have shower and changing facilities that can be used before leaving your event, please ask us to confirm at time of booking.
Parking is venue dependent, and if required please inform us and we can look to accommodate this.
