Introduction to Archery: Cupar Bowmen Beginners Course (Course 3)
Ever wanted to try your hand at archery? Whether you’re looking for a unique new hobby, a way to test your focus, or simply want to join a friendly local community, the Cupar Bowmen Beginners Course is the perfect place to start.

How It Works
Our introductory package is split into two phases to give you the best possible experience and a true taste of club life:
- Phase 1: The Core Lessons (First 3 Sessions) Over your first three Tuesday night sessions, you will learn the fundamentals of the sport. We will cover the basics of correct shooting technique, how to handle club equipment safely, and essential range safety protocols so you can shoot with absolute confidence.
- Phase 2: Club Integration (Next 2 Sessions) Your journey doesn't end after the basics! Your course fee includes an additional two regular club sessions on our usual Tuesday nights. This gives you the perfect opportunity to practice your new skills alongside current members, get a true feel for the club’s atmosphere, and decide if you'd like to officially join Cupar Bowmen.
What’s Included?
- 5 total Tuesday sessions (3 instructional classes + 2 regular club sessions).
- Full equipment hire (bows, arrows, and safety gear).
- Insurance cover for the duration of the course.
- Hands-on coaching and guidance from experienced club members.
Age Policy & Junior Supervision
We welcome younger archers to the club! Children are more than welcome to be booked onto the course and participate fully, but they must be accompanied by a responsible adult. An adult must remain present in the sports hall for the entire duration of every session.
What to Wear & Bring
- Clothing: Please wear comfortable, relatively close-fitting clothing (baggy jackets or loose sleeves can interfere with the bowstring).
- Footwear: Flat, enclosed shoes or trainers are mandatory for safety on the range (no sandals or open-toed shoes).
- Safety: Long hair should be tied back, and dangling jewelry or facial piercings should ideally be removed or taped before shooting.
Cancellations & Refunds
Because spaces on our beginners' courses are strictly limited and require us to allocate dedicated club equipment and coaches, we operate the following policy:
- Refund Requests: Full refunds can be requested up to 7 days before the start of the first session (by 18th August 2026). After this point, we are unfortunately unable to offer a refund as it doesn't leave us enough time to offer the spot to someone on our waiting list.
- Missed Sessions: The course is designed to build your skills sequentially, especially during the first 3 core sessions. If you know in advance that you have to miss a specific Tuesday, please let us know as soon as possible so our coaches can adapt. We cannot offer partial refunds or make-up dates for individual missed sessions.
- Club Cancellations: In the rare event that the club has to cancel a session due to unforeseen venue closures at the Cupar Sports Centre, we will notify you as early as possible and arrange an alternative date to ensure you still get your full 5 sessions.
