courses for 2025
At Sutton Archery Club, we prioritise safety by requiring all new members to complete a beginners course before joining. We conduct six major beginners courses each year, with each course spanning six weeks (May to July). The first three weeks focus on small group training led by qualified ArcheryGB coaches, emphasising basic shooting techniques and safety. The final three weeks introduce participants to target archery, where they can enhance their skills through general supervision and coaching, ensuring a fun and engaging experience for everyone involved.
If you’re interested in attending one of the courses, please specify which course you’d like to join, along with alternative preferences in case your first choice is full. Note that the courses last for six weeks and are held on the back field; if you can’t attend for a full three weeks due to reasons like weather, holidays, or work, we will carry over the program for that week.

We recommend that participants wear comfortable, well-fitted clothing while avoiding loose garments, and tie back long hair for safety. Although a belt to clip on a quiver is helpful, it is not mandatory; please also refrain from wearing open-toed shoes or sandals (archery and wiggly toes do not mix). Rest assu1red, no additional equipment is necessary, as we will provide everything you need for an enjoyable archery session.
During the summer months, we offer taster sessions and small courses on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 to 9, depending on coach availability. In winter, booking form September to April, we transition to indoor shooting but face space limitations, which means the number of beginners joining during summer will directly impact the availability of spaces for all participants.
