Sat11Feb2023WARDEN PARK ACADEMY, BROAD STREET CUCKFIELD, EAST SUSSEX. RH17 5DP
Two of the six workshop sessions have now taken place, but there are still four coming up, that's two on 11th February and the final two on 11th March. But they are filling up, with no more than six places left in any session, so don't leave it too long to reserve your place.
The sessions are Archer-Led, so the Coaches are ready to try to help you with whatever it is you'd like to work on.
The first pair of Coaching Workshop days was held on Saturday 14th January, and seems to have gone well, with several who took part in January deciding to book in for further sessions. There were 35 Archers and 11 coaches, who dealt with a wide range of issues, from straightforward analysis and advice on overall shooting technique to quite specific points such as Bow hand position, body alignment, position of drawing fingers on the string, stabilisation and how to choose, basic arrow tuning, how to use a clicker, first bow selection, release aids – thumb or finger, cam timing, sight adjustment and alignment, bow tiller, arrow rest adjustment, compound centre shot, how to straighten a wooden arrow, plunger button, bare shaft tuning, you name it.
So if you feel that some assistance with your shooting would be good, either in terms of general technique or to get on top of something that you can't quite work out, these Workshops could be where to get it.

Sat06Jul2019Ratpack Field Archery club in Binsted (near Arundel).
Ratpack HAG
What is 3D and 2D?
- 3D bosses are (in the Ratpack's case, homemade) foam targets fashioned into shapes resembling animals, fictional or downright bizarre creatures.
- 2D bosses are far closer to home, these are flat target faces, usually depicting animals, fixed to a foam boss.
You shoot 1 arrow at each boss from one of 3 coloured pegs.
Each peg is in a different position and each has it's own challenge. All boss distances are unmarked. Yes, unlike target archery, you have to estimate what the distance is! You will also have to contend with a variety of obstructions laid between you and the boss.
Some bosses are around 40m away, but most are 20m to 30m.
The cost is £10 if you wish to use your own kit or £15 to hire Ratpack kit (recommended!). The hire kit is a barebow (no sights) recurve beginner bow and wooden arrows. The fee allows for lost/damaged arrows. If you use your own kit, arrow loss is down to you!
