The Muckamore Company of Archers, a thriving Archery club based in Ballyclare, is excited to announce their upcoming Beginner's Course. Aspiring archers who are eager to learn and improve their skills are invited to join this fantastic opportunity.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, the exact date for the next course is yet to be determined. However, individuals who were unable to complete the previous course before the lockdown are encouraged to reach out to the club for updates and further assistance.
The Beginner's Course is typically conducted once a week, spanning across a duration of six weeks. Each session lasts for a satisfying two hours, wherein experienced instructors will be present to provide guidance and support. The best part? The club will supply all the necessary equipment, so aspiring archers need not worry about making any prior purchases.
To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience, participants are advised to wear clothing that is both comfortable and close-fitting. As the course primarily takes place indoors, dressing in multiple thin layers is strongly recommended to keep warm. It is advisable to avoid jumpers or jackets with baggy sleeves to prevent any interference with the bow string.
For those looking to surprise a loved one or simply spread the joy of archery, gift vouchers are available for purchase. These vouchers can be utilised for both the exciting Have A Go sessions and the much-anticipated Beginner's Courses.
The indoor venue for the Beginner's Course is conveniently located at The Burnside Barn, situated on Moyra Road in Burnside, Ballyclare. Shooting times at this indoor facility are scheduled for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings, from 7pm to 9pm. Please note that the outdoor sessions, held at Ballyclare Rugby Football Club on The Cloughan, Doagh Road, are typically conducted between May and mid-September and are subject to weather and light conditions. It's worth mentioning that Thursday sessions at the outdoor venue are exclusively reserved for Longbow shooters.
If you require any additional information about the Beginner's Course or wish to purchase a delightful gift voucher, simply reach out to the Muckamore Company of Archers. They'll be more than happy to assist you and make your archery journey a memorable one.
