Woodland Archery for outdoor team building

Archery is one of the projectile activities available for our team building programmes

Where better than the New Forest Outdoor Centre, set in one of England's oldest hunting reserves, to pull a few strings and loose some arrows? Archery is an ancient sport, dating back thousands or years to when the bow defended our land and provided the next meal.

Today team members on our outdoor team building programmes can learn the skill of arching using our modern, efficient bows and arrows. Our archery sessions begin with a full safety briefing from fully qualifed instructors before individuals are sized for a suitable bow and given one to one tuition.

As the arrows arc though the air towards the target,  the Robin Hoods and Maid Marions in the group will be revealed. During just a short session most individuals will show a dramatic improvement in their archery skills and depending on the needs of the programe our experienced instructors can introduce some friendly competition. Shooting under pressure can add a new dimension as the team attempt to be the winners of games such as darts or snakes and ladders.
