How does the activity run?
How does the activity run?
With Crossbows we have between two and 6 people shooting at one time dependent on group size and time available. We offer a practice and competition We normally run half of the number of quads for your group size, but dependant on your skill levels can run a minimum of a third of the number of quads for your group size.
Why not have more taking part?
Why not have more taking part?
Our quad biking is a physical activity. By splitting the group into 2 this allows for people to have a breather in between drives. This makes the session more relaxed and potentially the small break allows the driver to relax and refresh. The safe waiting is track side so whilst waiting you are able to watch the other part of the group.
Do Crossbows require a lot of strength to take part?
Do Crossbows require a lot of strength to take part?
Not necessarily, the bows are you similar in weight to an air rifle or shotgun (3.5KG) and the objective is to keep the bow steady as you squeeze the trigger. In most cases you can rest the bow from your shooting position and we can assist in cocking the bow. Crossbow requires more skill and concentration than just strength.
What is the minimum/maximum group size?
What is the minimum/maximum group size?
There is no minimum group size and up to a maximum group size of 30 people, if your group size is larger than this you will be provided with more time. If you have a group of less than 6 people we reserve the right to mix you with another party.
