Ballands Bowmen runs structured beginners’ training courses, normally during the winter months. These courses are designed to introduce new archers to safe shooting practice, basic technique and club etiquette. All equipment is provided, and course numbers are deliberately kept small to allow for individual guidance from qualified and experienced coaches. Completion of a beginners’ course does not automatically confer membership of the club; prospective members may be invited to join at the discretion of the club, in line with its long-standing approach to safety and responsible participation.
