The Cotswold Archery School's slogan is "Finding the Archer from Within," and what better place to achieve this than in the picturesque setting of the Batsford Arboretum grounds in Moreton in Marsh? This Gloucestershire location is ideal since it has everything you need for a fun session learning the basics of archery and offers lots of opportunities for practise! Neil and Jenny, who oversee the archery instruction, take great satisfaction in their ability to instruct aspiring archers utilising a tried-and-true teaching strategy in a professional, educational, and personable manner. These Gloucestershire experiences go beyond the typical taster course since they run for 90 minutes. You will spend the first half of your session studying the Olympic sport and practising your posture and shooting technique - and the second half shooting multiple different types of bow. You and a partner of your choosing will be hard-pressed to find a more thorough archery experience in the UK!
