Taster Sessions
KMAC offers taster sessions for those who want to try archery before signing up for a course. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn a new skill, have a great evening out and see whether archery is something you’d be interested in pursuing. If you find that archery is something you’d like to continue with, we recommend moving on to our beginner’s course.
All equipment is included for the duration of the taster session.
