East Durham Archers
Northern Counties Archery Society
Delivering the training...
Our beginner's course is delivered by a 'lead' Coach to a maximum group size of six trainees.
Three other coaches or senior archers are present, each directly supporting two trainee archers.
Archery is a precision sport and the shooting technique is a complex one, however with a friendly coach by the side of every trainee there has rarely been a case of anyone being 'left behind'.
Split into 2 x three hour classes a week apart with breaks for refreshments, fatigue is unlikely to rear its ugly head in our training sessions.
It's not all 'work, work, work!' - Trainees have fun moments too, with the opportunity to try different types of bows. There's a wide choice of bows out there - so why not give them a try?
No time for dancing, though!
