ARCHERY
We have many years experience supplying "traditional" archery to individuals, groups and public events for children from 5 years of age through to adults.
Archery is ideal for both young and old to get involved with an enjoyable activity together.
We can cater for the first time archer in one to one sessions or smaller groups, as well as at 'turn up and have a go' type sessions; through to a more individual targeted coaching session.
All our instructors are qualified with the National governing body Archery GB.
Active Aardvark Activities can supply anything from 1 to 10 targets for your event depending on the number of expected participants.
By the nature of archery, a large space is required to provide this activity safely (details will be available upon enquiry).
We can also provide "Soft Archery" which is suitable for younger children or where overshoot and space is limited.
We have succesfully provided soft archery for children aged 4 - 9 years at large public events / fetes etc.
Please get in touch to discuss your individual requirements.
AXE / TOMAHAWK THROWING
Axe throwing is an exciting, relativly new activity that is now becoming extremely poplular with both young and old.
It involves throwing a "Mini Hawk" (as pictured) or special throwing tomaharks at a round wooden target.
This is an extremely safe activity and is supervised at all times by one or more of our experienced instructors, who will assist in perfecting your technique, to hit the target every throw.
This is a great novelty activity. The majority of people we work with are new to this event and love seeing their skills improve in a short time period.
Axe throwing is suitable for age 7 years or above as long as they have the ability to throw the hawks.
This activity does not require as much space to operate safely as archery does, so is suitable for small venues or area with limited space .

MIDI FENCE (Plastic sword fencing)
MIDI fencing has been designed by British Fencing as an introduction to the olympic sport of fencing.
It uses a range of plastic "foil" type swords, protective vests and face masks.
It is a fun, engergic and engaging activity for participants as the sport is as much about tactics as the physical skills and movements.
It is an excellent activity to keep young children interested and engaged due to the novelty of the activity. It is suitable for children aged 7 - 15 years, although sessions can be provided for adults also.
Our British Fencing qualified instructors will guide participants through from the correct stance, the first steps to attack and defence, resulting in them being able to partake in duels with opponents.
This actvity works best with group sizes between 10 - 18.
Sessions can be run outside (not in wet weather) or indoor in private hall of a size similar to badminton court size.

AIR RIFLE TARGET SHOOTING
We have many years experience coaching and instructing Air Rifle shooting for Air Rifles and Pistols to individuals and groups for children from 8 years of age through to adults along with running many courses for scouts to achieve their "Master of Arms" badges.
Air Rifle shooting is ideal for both young and old to get involved with an enjoyable activity together in a safe controlled environment under the instruction of a qualified NSRA (National Smallbore Rifle Association) coach.
We cater for the first time shooters in one to one sessions or smaller groups, as well as at 'turn up and have a go' type sessions; through to a more individual targeted coaching session.
We provide all equipment you require and teach you all the skills to ensure you can shoot with skill and in an absolute safe manor.
We are keen to promote a positive attitude towards target shooting as a sport. We encourage the activity as a target sport that can be done by all.
We use modern spring powered and PCP .177 air rifles and only shoot at paper targets and metal knock down type targets.
All our targets are generic inanimate shapes and do not resemble living forms in any way making this a suitable family activity.
By the nature of Air Rifle Shooting, a large space is required to provide this activity safely (details will be available upon enquiry).
