Does Battle Archery require a lot of strength to take part?
Not necessarily, the objective is to keep the bow steady so we use lightweight training bows. Battle Archery is more about the technique and consistency, this requires more skill and concentration than just strength.

Am I allowed to shoot? I have my own gun, can i bring it?
The Firearms act of 1968 amended in 2023 and updated in 2025 states you can shoot under supervision at any age. Under the current law you are allowed to handle a gun without a license under supervision from the license holder, as long as you have not received a previous conviction preventing you from doing so. Unfortunately not. We are not a gun club. The law allows you to use our weapons at our ranges.

So Double this time if you are doing 2 activities, triple time for 3 activities and so on. In certain circumstances such as a small group where your health and safety could be at risk from overconfidence, we may reduce this time. Alternatively if you are acting beyond what Max Events, or our instructors deem safe/acceptable, you will be asked to leave the activity. No refunds will apply for misuse of equipment.

It is a requirement for a participant to be able to control all these functions. We may in some cases be able to provide a lane for wheelchair users, please call to check. Any firearm we use does have an element of recoil which may aggravate an existing shoulder/collarbone injury. Battle Archery is a fast and furious as you want to make it. It normally involves running between safe spots, dodging arrows, but you can be as active as you like. One hand holds/supports the bow, the other pulls the sting back. It is a requirement for a participant to be able to control all these functions. This activity operates in undulating terrain and unfortunately is not suitable for wheelchair users.
