Crossbow Shooting in Bristol

Crossbow shooting at Max Events in Bristol

Steady that forearm as you take aim on the Crossbows

Fancy something slightly different from your standard bow and arrow then cross bows could be the activity for you. The only requirement is nerves of steel and a steady hand to ensure you are hitting the bullseye every time!

These weapons are powerful bits of kit pulling over 150lb when drawn so not to be underestimated! You will have the chance to shoot at our conventional targets as well as a few exploding surprises on the way!

You will receive a full safety briefing before you start, and instruction to help you achieve those all-important scores to keep you top of the table.

Crossbow Frequently Asked Questions

How does the activity run?

These are deadly weapons so for safety we will operate between 2 people shooting at one time. We offer practice and then scored competition.

Does Crossbow require a lot of strength to take part?
Not necessarily, the bows can reach the same weight as an air rifle or shotgun and the objective is to keep the bow steady as you squeeze the trigger. 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 12 people, if your group size is larger than this you will be split over 2 or more activities or you will be provided with more time. 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. In certain circumstances such as a small group where your health and safety could be at risk from over confidence, 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 does the session last?
Each activity runs for 1 hour in Bristol. If you just book Crossbow that will last for one hour. Crossbow is also run in a package. It does depend on which package you have booked as to how long you will be on site. A package with four activities can last between 3 ½ hours to 4 hours.

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.

Am I insured?
Max Events carries £5 million public liability insurance. This covers us and you in the event of our negligence. You are provided with all instruction necessary to complete the activity safely, if you operate any equipment beyond your ability or the boundaries that we provide you will not be covered, it does not cover you for acts of stupidity or if an incident arises beyond our control.

Can we operate in any weather?
Unfortunately we cannot control the weather. In most cases 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.

Can I wear fancy dress?
Yes, if you like the look of William Tell, or the guy from The Walking Dead it’s not a problem
