Beginner’s Courses
Dunstable Bowmen runs beginner’s courses each year in May and September for anyone aged 10 years old and above.
Our May course runs in the evenings arrive 6.00pm for a 6.30pm start.
In September this will run on Saturday’s from 11am followed by 2 Thursday indoor sessions at 6.30pm to 8.00pm.
See all dates and times in the tables below.
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.
