About the Experience
Weaponry Experience Days: Unleash your inner warrior with a Medieval Sport Trio in Dorset!
Step back in time and try your hand at three traditional medieval sports — archery, crossbow shooting, and axe throwing — set against the stunning Dorset countryside. This hands-on experience gives you the chance to see how these ancient skills were practised, all under the guidance of expert instructors.
On arrival, you will meet your group and head straight to the shooting ranges. Start with archery, receiving expert tuition from a professional ArcheryGB coach. Learn to hit targets from up to 20m away and practise your aim on balloons before moving up to the crossbow. Channel your inner Daryl from The Walking Dead as you aim at zombie targets 25m away, using a magnified scope to hit your mark.
Finally, take on the rugged challenge of axe-throwing. Using custom battle axes forged by a New Forest blacksmith, you’ll master this ancient skill in a thrilling, hands-on session. Once you’ve tried each activity, you can focus on your favourite, whether that’s perfecting your archery, hitting bullseye zombies, or mastering the axe throw.
Perfect for groups of competitive friends or family, this Medieval Sport Trio is a unique gift and an unforgettable day of traditional country pursuits.
