"Evie really enjoyed the balloon and paper targets day and assembling the bow. I liked all the aspects of trying to achieve the correct technique and gaining muscle memory to repeat the same shot/grouping of arrows. Thank you, Barnsley YMCA Archers, for the brilliant beginners archery course. Me and my daughter Evie (age 😎) really enjoyed it, and we would highly recommend it to anybody young or old."
We couldn't be happier to hear about Evie's enthusiasm and the positive experience they both had during the course. It's wonderful to see both young and old archery enthusiasts having a blast! 🌞
