Horseback archery training day


Have a try at horseback archery with newly formed Edinburgh & Lothian Mounted Archers on Saturday 28th April. You can take part in a three hour introduction session which will include coaching in ground archery, introducing your horse to bows, arrows and shooting, and mounted archery at walk, trot & canter (for the brave!). You will need your own horse who should have a steady temperament. Bows, arrows and other archery equipment will be provided.
Those wishing to take part will need to become at least trial members of the British Horseback Archery Association in order to have third party liability insurance, which will cost £20. (If you love it and decide to join the club for further training, you can convert to full membership of BHAA for another £20). The day will be led by BHAA Club Coach Hazel Curtis. Cost for a three hour session (max number 6 people per session) is £15 (£10 for venue hire and £5 for club equipment fund).
Contact hazelccurtis@gmail.com for further information or to reserve a place. Places will be held provisionally until confirmation of BHAA trial membership is received.
