Whilst Targeting Archery has not registered a separate Junior Club with Archery GB, we do encourage children from as young a ten (sometimes 8 if they are suitable) to come along and shoot under the guidance of Karen, who has extensive experience at coaching children in clubs, schools and within Archery GB sessions. We hold regular come-and-shoot sessions on Tuesday afternoons specifically for children. Please see our Come-and-Shoot page for more information of the sessions for junior archers. An enrolment form must be completed before attending.  To ensure there is a place available it is advisable to book a slot in advance to avoid disappointment of turning up unannounced and finding there isn't a space available. Please note that an adult (18+) must stay with the child throughout the whole session. 

As an Archery GB talent coach, I am always on the look out for children showing any signs of talent for the sport. A child that comes and shoot with me will be coached and encouraged to enjoy the sport socially as always, but I will also be able to put junior archers who show potential forward to Archery GB for their Regional Performance Academy Programme. Through that four year programme, students are given the opportunities to shoot under the guidance of the top UK national coaches with an objective to preparing the next generations of archers to represent England and the UK at national, international and Olympic competitions. So if a child has any ambitions to take their archery beyond a fun and social level, then coming to shoot with Targeting Archery could be a great starting point for their future in the sport. Please get in contact if you would like any more information on getting children into archery.
