Fort Purbrook Junior Archery Club is our newest club all about the development of our younger archers. Meeting every Thursday at 5:45pm-6:45pm. It is made up of youngsters aged 8-14, taking part in a variety of archery based activities including introduction to the sport, developing their skills, taking part in fun games and challenges and more formal archery rounds, and simulated tournaments designed to help any junior who chooses to compete at that level.
Enjoying archery is an important part of the Junior section – enthusiastic instructors help through out the session and work with the juniors to bring a strong team spirit at the Club.
