Woodland Archery, a truly Unforgettable Experience here in the Highlands!

Absolute beginners are welcome to our Woodland Archery Sessions. Under the guidance of qualified instructors, we welcome you to journey along woodland paths, to encounter the magical and mythical! Dinosaurs, Dragons, the Spooky Graveyard, and the mystical Highland Glen. Each session is available for up to eight participants so you may be within a friendly mixed group. However, do not fear! you will have plenty of time, and opportunity, to not just learn the basics of Field Archery, but to try out your new skills at our awesome Woodland Zones. Bigger groups can be accomodated by arrangement, email bowhunterarchery@outlook.com.

Woodland Archery Sessions are available in 60min/90min, Haggis Rescue Adventure and the Coorie Doon Winter Adventure.  Our minimum age for woodland archery is 8yrs old - however please read the individual sessions as the Coorie is age 10yrs.  We welcome solo visitors, however you must be over 18. Please contact us direct to book.

Itinerary

After a quick but thorough safety briefing and instruction, we head off along the woodland paths to the starting point of your Woodland Adventure. From here you can choose two Zones, (sometimes three depending on time) from: Dinosaurs, Dragons, the Zombies in the Creepy Graveyard, or head to the mythical Highland Glen and learn about some of our local folklore and, of course, meet our protected Highland Haggis. All our sessions are suitable for absolute beginners. Our instructors are not just fully qualified and experienced, but they are all archers themselves - so you will leave with so many great tips and key pieces of advice! 

 

Things To Bring

  • Sturdy footwear - no open toes please.
  • Long hair tied back
  • Remove dangly earrings/jewellery
  • Midgie repellant from March-November
  • Waterproof jacket (just in case!)
  • We recommend several light layers of clothing

Additional Info

Please read for important extra information.

  • Our sessions consist of small groups, please remember other people may be waiting for you to arrive. Contact us if you expect to be late! More than 10 minutes, without contact, and we will release the dinosaurs back into the wild and you will be unable to participate.
  • Safety is important, so please ensure long hair is tied back, loose jewellery/scarves tucked in/removed, closed toe shoes are worn.
  • We recommend wearing lightweight layers, long sleeves, sunscreen on warmer days and insect repellant. A showerproof jacket is also very handy (all year round!)
  • During lighter showers we work around them and shoot through, however, torrential downpour/storms are dangerous, and we may be forced to cancel with full refund. 

Woodland Archery is available to all those aged 8yrs and over.

  •  We do not allow children under 18yrs to participate on their own, another person must participate with them. 
  • We recommend a 60 minute session for those younger members and more frail. If in doubt, get in touch!

Combined Bow and Axe Throwing. Axe Throwing is for aged 12yrs and over. 

If you are combining an archery session with the axe throwing, please note that we do not allow any children under 12yrs to participate in the axe throwing part. They are very welcome to join in with the archery session and watch the axe throwing. If this is the case please contact us direct so you are not overcharged for your non-axe throwing person. Or book the Bow and Axe session as usual for those fully participating and drop me an email with the number of those not participating in the axe throwing

We are inclusive, promoting and supporting Accessibility to All. However, to maximise your enjoyment of the session, it is really important to tell us during the booking process if anyone has any additional support/health support requirements. We have strict ratios in place, and specially trained Archery Instructors that can ensure you have the absolute best time ever! Help us to provide the best experience for you x

Cancellation Policy

It is always sad when you have to cancel, and we totally understand that these things happen. We would prefer to try and find you a new date rather than fully cancel, however, that too can sometimes be tricky if you are limited to time. 
 
If you need to cancel, or reduce the number of booked participants in your group, up to 48 hours before the start of your booked session, we will refund any money paid to us for that participant/group. 
 
If you need to cancel, or reduce the number of booked participants in your group, within 48 hours of the start time of your booked session, we will refund 50% of any money paid to us for that participant/group. 
 
If you do not turn up for your booked session, and we have not had any contact from you, we will not refund any money paid to us.
