Archery is a sport using a bow to shoot arrows. Beginners start with target archery, which can be indoors or outdoors. You will shoot a set number of arrows at the target which is set at a distance between 10 to 90metres. Target Archery is the type of Archery offered by Evergreen.
Archery is known to build strength, stamina and coordination. It supports our mental wellbeing by increasing self-confidence and also enhances concentration and focus levels. It is a sunnah sport which is great on an individual basis and perfect for meeting new people.
Our taster ‘have a go’ sessions are £5 for the session.
Our beginner courses which run over a set number of weeks throughout the year vary in costs.
Whatever you would like to, be that shalwar kameez, an abaya, headscarf or not. Just something comfortable so you can shoot without restrictions.
