Battle Archery Frequently Asked Questions

How does the activity run?
The group will be split into teams or between 5 and 12. We offer practice and then competition.
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.
What is the minimum/maximum group size?
On Saturday we operate a minimum group size of 6, up to a maximum team size of 36 people. If you have a group of less than 6 people we suggest you call in the week running up to the day you would like to come, as we may have some space we can offer you, in this case we reserve the right to mix you with another party, alternatively you can pay for 6 people.
What day can i book, are you only open at weekends?
Predominantly we are open on Saturday for group bookings, but do open during the week. Any booking would be subject to availability and group size. Please call to discuss options.
How long does the session last?
Each activity runs for 55 minutes. 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.
How long will I be on site?
This is dependant on the package booked but we ask that you arrive half hour prior to the start of your activities, and you will need at least 15 minutes from when the activities have finished to getting in your car.
Minimum age
There is no requirement specifically on age. You must however be physically able to take part. For this reason we suggest a minimum age of 14 years.
Am I insured?
Max Events carries £10 million public liability insurance. This covers us and you in the event of our negligence subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. By taking part in an activity you are accepting that there are risks, you are provided with all instruction necessary to complete the activity safely, if you choose to ignore our instructions and operate any equipment beyond your ability or the boundaries that we provide then you will not be covered, it does not cover you for acts of stupidity or if an incident arises beyond our control.
Medical, Physical concerns
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. Please be aware of your own capabilities For your safety please contact us before your event day if any of your group has any Medical, Physical or Mental conditions or disabilities which might affect them taking part in the activities.
Can we operate in any weather?
Unfortunately we cannot control the weather. We work very hard to ensure your event runs smoothly and with the required activities in your booking. If we feel we have a health and safety issue we would try and make contact in the week prior to your arrival and offer some alternative suggestions. In extreme circumstances on the day we may have to offer an alternative activity which carries an equal or greater value. Please be aware no refunds will be made if we are open and you cannot make the event, for whatever reason.
Will I get dirty / Do you provide overalls?
This is dependant on the weather. Hot and sunny you will get dusty, wet and you may get muddy. We do not provide overalls for each individual person, we do have a range of overalls for sale on the day, prices start at £2.00 and in most cases this is enough to keep you relatively clean.
What should I wear?
Loose fitting layered clothing, so you can remove some if you get too hot, and replace when cooling down.
Do I need specific footwear?
Either trainers or walking boots are a must. Its handy to have a bit of grip. You must wear shoes that will not fall off, and that cover the whole foot, i.e no flip flops.
Can I bring my own gear?
No. We need to ensure that all equipment is safe and to the required standard. Everyone plays with the same equipment to maintain fair play.
Do I have to wear a face mask?
Yes in all circumstances to comply with our insurance face masks are compulsory.
Can I wear fancy dress?
Yes, if you like the look of Robin Hood, the Arrow, or Maid Marion it’s not a problem, so long as it does not have the potential to be caught in any moving parts, does not impair vision, means you are still wearing the correct footwear and safety gear.
Do you provide any safety equipment?
Yes we provide all necessary safety equipment for each activity, as outlined by our insurance obligations.
