Beginners course
Are you ready to discover the thrill of archery?
This is your perfect opportunity to develop your skills and join a dynamic, welcoming community of archers! Pepperstock Archers offers beginner courses every year, held both outdoors in the Spring at Slip End Playing Fields, Luton, and indoors in the Autumn at Manshead College, Caddington.
Our comprehensive Beginners Course consists of an engaging 3 hour introduction and technique building session where we get you set up with equipment, explain the safety rules and guide you through all the shooting basics up to and including shooting with sights. This is followed up with 3 further sessions where we support your continued development with 1 to 1 coaching and advice.
The initial session will be held at our outdoor venue at Slip End playing field on October 3rd from 9:30am to 12:30pm. The further 1.5 hour sessions will be held at Manshead CE Academy, Caddington, continuing on 6th, 13th & 20th October at 7:00pm.
The course fee is £60 for adults and £40 for juniors (ages 10 -18), which includes insurance and the use of the club’s equipment for the full duration of the course.
Juniors must be accompanied by an adult throughout the course, and if they decide to continue, that adult must remain present for any future sessions.
Our training sessions cover essential skills like safety, technique, and form, and we’ll also guide you on how to progress further in the sport, including how to join the club and choose the right equipment. Plus, after completing the course, you’ll have the opportunity to become a member of Pepperstock Archers and continue your archery journey!
For year-round practice, join us for club evenings on Mondays and Wednesdays from May to September at Slip End Playing Fields, and additional shooting sessions are available on evenings and weekends. In the winter months, we shoot indoors at Manshead College, Caddington, on Tuesdays from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the world of archery – come and discover the joy of hitting the mark with Pepperstock Archers!
