I went along to a "Have a Go" session and found it very enjoyable. The instructor (John) managed…read morethe difficult task of being both professional and friendly at the same time. He covered the basics of archery (with the emphasis on safety, naturally) efficiently, leaving us lots of times to shoot arrows at the targets. There were five of us at the session and I think everyone enjoyed it, Somehow, I don't think I will make the next Olympics, but it was certainly good fun. I would recomment anyone to give it a try!

I took a 5-week intro class at the Southwark location. For £125, I thought it was great value. Each…read moresession is about 2.5 hours. I really liked my instructor, and I'm kicking myself now that I CAN'T remember his name (I swear this is a reflection on me, because I am AWFUL with names). The classes are very fun and the hours zoom by. If you're a bit competitive like me though, sometimes you forget that everyone is there to learn and have fun ;) Anyway, we were divided into two groups that generally stayed together for the entire duration of lessons. For the earlier sessions there is a lot of emphasis on safety and practicing technique, but for the later sessions you can expect to be shooting for the majority of the time on the floor. There's naturally a bit of standing around because you have to take turns with the target board, but I actually enjoy that with team sports because you get to know your teammates. My fellow coursemates were lovely, and we all got on well enough that we planned to join the club together and shoot more in the future. You have to attend pretty much every class to get the intro certification in order to join the club. That seems fair though -- when people are shooting pointy things at high speeds, you want to make sure that everyone knows what they're doing, at some basic level at least! I haven't been to the London Bridge range yet but one of these days, I will get my butt down there...

The waiting area is nice and airy, with lockers for your possessions, a plethora of bean bags to lounge on, free coffee and tea, and a large selection of magazines and comic books! So if you're early or waiting for friends, you definitely won't be bored. We were first introduced to the different kinds of bows available to train on, how they work, and what they're used for. We would all be practicing on the recurve bow to begin with. We were outfitted with arm guards and had our arms measured to have the correct bow and arrows assigned. The lovely Kristina led our session, finding the perfect bow for each of us, leading a short warm-up, and of course showing us techniques and tricks so we'd hit the target! Not every shot was a hit, but we all had a tremendous amount of fun trying to learn to aim, we even got to try popping balloons that were attached to the targets and super satisfying to shoot! The tasting session at Archery Fit was an incredible amount of fun and a brilliant group or corporate activity for small and large groups. I absolutely recommend booking yourself in if you'd like to try your hand at archery, or go for a full beginners course of six 90 minute lessons!
