Archery

Enjoy this ancient sport played by kings and lords for centuries. All the family can participate simultaneously from ages ten upwards to unveil their very own champion! We use our 50m indoor centre when necessary so this activity is not weather dependent but please bring warm outdoor clothing, a rain jacket, and comfortable footwear. Set up according to the National British Grand Championship guidelines with rubber 3D targets, we use arrows that are the only ones of their kind in Ireland. This activity takes place at the Equestrian Centre, and participants are required to be as tall as the bow.
