Robins Reach Archery

If your aged 8yrs - 80 yrs or special needs then Archery could be just the type of activity that you have been looking for.

Extract from Robins Reach Archery guest book.

Name: Dave

Comments:

“I'm a wheelchair user with no use of my fingers and I thought archery as a hobby was out of the question, until I accompanied my friend to a 2 hour session with Joe and I've got to say he's a true gentleman and a great teacher. We went back to take the beginners course and learnt so much from Joe's years of experience, we also found his enthusiasm very infectious. I can't wait to join a club now and take part in a hobby where I'm at a level pegging with everyone else. I highly recommend going to see Joe if you’re looking for a beginning in Archery”
