Archery is a great activity for students
Discover Archery Ltd provides a mobile archery service which comes to you with all the necessary equipment and experience and offers high quality instruction from a team led by an ArcheryGB qualified coach.
Integrating archery into the physical education curriculum enhances pupils’ physical and mental development across all key stages. By fostering essential life skills such as discipline, focus, and resilience, archery supports the holistic growth of students and aligns seamlessly with the UK educational objectives.
We can provide a teaching programme to suit your school’s needs or we can deliver our standard Introduction to Archery Course. These can be run as part of the curriculum or as a school club.
We coach archery to primary and secondary school pupils within the guidelines recommended by Archery GB.
Examples of what we offer:


As well as one-off taster sessions we run progressive courses lasting from 6 to 12 weeks. Each course starts with a safety talk and demonstration and then each participant will then show that they can shoot safely under the supervision of the qualified archery coach. Over the course participants will be taught how to aim properly and how to hold the bow correctly, they will be shown how to string the bow and will learn to name the parts of the bow and arrow. A wide variety of games will be introduced to keep the participants interested and to make it fun.
We offer the option to shoot indoors, if the venue is suitable, with the support of heavy duty archery netting behind the targets to catch any stray arrows or, weather permitting, many schools have fields which are of an appropriate size. If we shoot outside a minimum area of 120yds by 50yds is mandatory according to the ArcheryGB ‘Rules of Shooting’.
Archery Tag®
We have a growing list of schools who use our services for Archery Tag®. We have provided Archery Tag® for Enrichment Days and Sports Days and as an extracurricular activity for students, teachers and boarders and also as a regular weekly activity.


555 Extreme Archery Tournaments
Extreme Archery by Archery Tag® is a unique, fast-paced team sport where players compete for points by shooting Archery Tag® foam tipped arrows at the opposing team. Points are awarded by “striking” (tagging) your opponent or “catching” your opponent’s arrow. We can cater for an entire class in 4 teams.
Soft Archery Games
Archery Games are a selection of games which use the soft foam tipped arrows to shoot over, under, through, into and at a variety of different obstacles. This is a new concept in archery games created here at Discover Archery.
This exciting new concept can be used as a one off activity, as part of a larger sports day or we can run a course for primary aged children just using the soft foam arrows whilst teaching them all the concepts for regular hard archery.
When we run an archery course we will always include the games in one of the sessions allowing the students to put their new skills to the test by shooting through hoops or at flying aeriel discs. We can also use equipment from the P.E. store or use the environment to create new games.
Some of the games we would play are ‘Shoot The Hoop’, ‘Tin Can Alley’, ‘Clout’, ‘Balance Ball’, ‘Discus’, ‘Drop Shot’ and ‘Rabbit’.


Hoverball Target Set
The inflatable Hoverball Target Set is so versatile it can be used in virtually any environment. It can be set up safely inside or outside and only requires a small area of space. This is a great way to get lots of people to have-a-go in a short space of time. This Target Set is ideal for Sports Days, Fetes or Fund Raisers.
Crossbow
As part of an archery or soft archery course we also take one session where we introduce crossbows. The bows we use are very lightweight toy bows which shoot little sucker darts. Very safe and lots of fun, another way to give a new experience and teach safety aspects to children in an enjoyable controlled manner.


Safe Axe Throwing
As good as the real thing, these plastic axes are completely safe and can be used indoors or out and require very little space. Lots of fun, highly addictive, and a great add-on to any activity.
