Archery Lessons & Courses
Buying the right bow makes a difference, but nothing replaces proper hands-on coaching when you're starting out, or moving into a new discipline for the first time. Our courses are taught by people who shoot traditional archery themselves, not generic instructors working from a script.
Archery Clubs
If you want to join an archery club, you'll typically need to complete a beginners course before applying for membership — we teach you everything you need and supply all the equipment for the session, so there's nothing to buy beforehand. It's also a genuinely good way to try different bow types hands-on — longbow, recurve, horse bow — before deciding what to invest in yourself.
Looking for archery lessons?
Want to learn how to make bow and arrows? If you're new to the sport and looking to find archery classes then learn archery with us. Our archery courses run at The Longbow Shop range by qualified Archery GB coaches. Each year we also have special events covering how to make arrows and making an English longbow.
Finding archery lessons near me
We run archery sessions and lessons right here in the shop on a monthly basis but if you aren't local to us you have several options to find a course. Take a look at the Archery GB Club Finder and search for clubs local to you. There is also the NFAS Club finder (National Field Archery Society) who also run classes for beginners.
How do I join an archery club?
If you want to join an archery club, you will need to complete an archery beginners course and then apply to become a club member. We will teach you everything you need to know and supply all the archery equipment. Take a look at our archery workshops but make sure to book early as places move fast!
Bow making courses
For archers who want to go further, we also run bow making workshops, where you build your own bow under guidance rather than just buying one. No prior experience is needed.
Places move fast, so book early — get in touch to check current availability before planning around a specific date.
