Frequently Asked Questions for general training
Do we use real equipment in the programs?
Yes, all bows and arrows are real in all our programs including programs for kids.
Can young children participate in programs?
Programs are available for children over the age of 6 years. Please monitor our website or register on our website for updates as we develop new programs.
While some programs are for 7 years and older, our Conditions of Entry allow for 6 year olds and above to cater for kids who are almost 7 years old.
Can I reserve a space within the picnic area?
The picnic area is a public space therefore equipment can not be reserved.
We recommend arriving early to avoid disappointment as availability can not be guaranteed as the area is a shared resource for the Archery Centre users and the local community.
Do you supply tables and chairs in the picnic area?
The picnic area has available public space benches, BBQs and market umbrellas.
We recommend bringing your own portable picnic chairs, tables and blankets.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
Yes, the Archery Centre features a public picnic area with 2 free BBQ facilities, plenty of grassed area and some picnic umbrella and benches. No glass is permitted.
Can we store our birthday cake or other food and beverages?
We recommend arriving with an esky, ice or other suitable items to adequately store and serve your catering needs as there is no dedicated food handling or storage facilities onsite. Alternatively we are able to provide you with a menu and contact details of our external catering provider who may be able to supply items you require pre-ordered and delivered for your session.
Do I need to stay with my child?
Yes, you will be asked to assist your child as they listen to the safety induction and learn how to shoot or use the equipment. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult (18 years and over) as per our Conditions of Entry.
What happens if it rains?
Sessions will continue in the case of bad weather. We adjust the shooting line to under the awning where feasible.
If we feel we need to adjust or cancel the session for any reason we will contact you with as much notice as possible.
What's the difference between Sharp Shooters and Young Archers?
Young Archers is aimed at those from 7 - 12 years, it is a smaller class size focussing on teaching the basics in a controlled environment. It is a slower session with many breaks and more assistance.
Can I buy a gift voucher for a program?
We do have gift vouchers available to purchase.
Vouchers are sold at any value you desire however they are not program specific.
Gift vouchers can be purchased over the phone and posted however we highly recommend collection from the Centre.
