Beginner’s Courses
Dunstable Bowmen run beginner’s courses each year in May and September for anyone aged 10 years old and above. For 2024 we are running our beginners courses in May and September 2024.
Our May course runs in the evenings and in September will run on Saturday’s in October from 11am followed by 2 Thursday indoor sessions at 6.30pm to 8.00pm. We provide tuition in basic archery by experienced archers and coaches on a one to one basis.
Please do not buy any equipment before the lessons, we supply everything you will need.
Archer’s equipment requirements can and do change overtime, especially at the beginning so we do advise you not to buy equipment straight away as making a mistake could be expensive.
Enrolling on the beginner’s course does not guarantee an offer of membership to the club. If you are invited to join, equipment may be available if not being used, there maybe a small hire charge. After this time you are expected to buy your own equipment. Our experienced archers will be able to advise you.
