Upcoming Taster Sessions

We now have the dates for our upcoming taster days. If you’d like to try your hand at archery, or know someone who would, then read on.

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 for you, we recommend moving on to our beginner’s course.

Our next taster sessions are:

29th November 2024 18.45-20.15 (FULLY BOOKED)
28th February 2025 18.45-20.15
4th April 2025 18.45-20.15
