Archery At Haven

[zzr1100]

Hi all , Im hoping to take the family to one of the haven holiday camps in North Wales for a few days at the end of the summer, (flash i know !! )
I noticed they had archery there , does anyone have experience of the haven regime ? ... Would they for instance let me take my own bow so i can have a practice ??? any info is appreciated !

I honestly don't think they'd allow you to take/use your own kit, I can imagine the bosses are thread bare over a season and wouldn't have much stopping power in them,

[dfunct]

If they are anything like the centre parks ones they won't let you shoot your own kit and anyway the bosses really aren't up to stopping anything higher than the 18# bows, the danage bosses we where shooting at where totally shot out - I had 2 arrows go all the way though in the centre right up to the fletchings

Anyway 122cm targets at 10 metres isn't much of a challenge...

Go try pull a robin hood with a jelly bow and bent jazz arrows. should be a laugh

They probably will not allow you to shoot your own equipment and the targets are always about ten yards away. The ones I've seen in France are well equipped but very restrictive.

Hi,
As your in North Wales, why not find a local club, I'm sure they would let you play with their equipment...obviously that is if you have driven yourself there, of course?? And just pay a daily fee perhaps??
Just a suggestion.

your lucky or unlucky day. my club is the nearest. and if someone was available you could shoot for free. ( GNAS card proof)

but it 26 miles from the haven camp. in prestatyn.

if your goin to the old butlins site there is nantile dyffryn club.

n.wales covers huge area.

.
haven camps i know are a little small to shoot serious equipment, overshoot ...mmmmm well wouldn't like to say.

how many of your family can you get on a zzr1100 anyway

The same here. We go down to Bude in Cornwall most years, and a quick e-mail to the Bowmen of Bude, (NFAS) got us an invite for myself and Sarah to join them on a shoot day. A friendly bunch, archers you know. We had a good time and met some new friends. Mind you, Sarah went on one of these adventure park archery shoots. Would not tell them she could shoot . They gave her a trainer bow, and she gave them a shock, with a cheeky grin. Naughty girl
