Go for a traditional shoot or take aim at something different when you try archery in Bedford! We are offering two types of archery here at this Bedford-based centre so you either shoot arrows at your traditional round targets with multi-coloured rings or fire them at some rather more unexpected objects…
Using your recurve bow and arrows you will adopt the stance and get ready to release. If you’ve gone for the target archery session offered at this venue it’s all about aiming at the golden centre ring to hit yourself a fine bullseye. If you go for the clay pigeon archery it’s all quite different out there on the stands.
Indeed you will need to keep your wits about you as at first there is nothing to see as you look out across the this Bedford-based archery range. Then suddenly you’ll hear a trap opening and before you know it there’s your foam target cutting across the sky. No time for pondering which way it might go get tracking pull back and away goes your arrow. If you’ve got the trajectory right you’ll pierce into the foam and it’ll come down to earth with a thud.
From then on it’s a fast-flowing fury of foamy targets flying at you from all directions and heights. What we love about this unusual version of archery is that here in Bedford you are not limited on the number of arrows so if you’re quick on the draw you could find yourself shooting at up to 100 or more of these targets as your session lasts an hour and a half.
It’s all a bit madcap but very exhilarating. In case you were wondering it all takes place at a professional shooting venue between Bedford and St Neots where the main activity is indeed standard archery but we thought we’d offer this version as it’s ideal for a less serious fun day out. The voucher is valid for both sports so the lucky recipient can choose which they prefer to do.
If you’re looking for something a bit different that offers a fun and safe archery-style experience for all ages our pigeon shooting archery in Bedford experience could be just the thing but if you want to hone your classic archer skills with targets that don’t move you can do that too.
