Your journey starts here.
Stafford Archers will provide a safe, accessible, and a fun place to get into archery.
1
Have-a-Go Event
Throughout the year, our club attends a variety of local events where we offer ‘Have a Go’ archery sessions. These are short, informal sessions where you’ll be introduced to the basics of archery before having the opportunity to shoot a few arrows yourself. A great way to try the sport in a fun and relaxed setting.
We use a range of equipment at these events, allowing younger children to take part. For those who may not yet be able to draw a full bow, we also provide suction cup bows so everyone can get involved.

Taster Session
Our two-hour taster sessions provide a great introduction to archery in a friendly and supportive environment. You’ll begin with a short briefing covering basic technique and safety, led by our experienced coaches. Once you’re ready, you’ll have the opportunity to shoot using club equipment, with guidance and coaching throughout the session to help you build confidence and improve.
