Is there an age limit?
In general terms the minimum age limit would be 9
years but they must be physically capable of drawing the bow and have a
reasonable understanding of how to behave and follow instructions. We will
accept children at a younger age but normally make an assessment of their
capabilities on their first night.
There is no upper age limit.

Do I have to stay with my children?
A Simple answer 'YES' if they are under 16 years.
Although all our Coach's are Criminal Record Bureau checked, through
the National Governing Body, we are not a youth club and can't take parental
responsibility whilst at the club.
