Just found this wonderful place for a children's activity with a difference. Archery is one of the most fun plus safe sports there is. And if your son is as crazy about bows and arrows as mine, then this is the place to go. They were able to fit us in at short notice (his actual birthday day) and answered emails promptly. Also very friendly to deal with on the phone.

From the highway, take the Hoppers turn off, but don't go right over the bridge, turn left past the service station and loop back around approaching the highway. There is a bank of small factory type places and Arrows Plus is towards the end. It's a large, clean facility with a shop for some snacks as well as all your archery needs.

We joined a "Come and Try" session of an hour for $15. There are also other youth courses and you can join the club for more mature and skilled practice as well as competitions if you want to.

The large space of the shooting area only allows seven participants at a time. Safety rules are followed an all equipment is provided, like arm guards, finger covers and the bow and arrow - choice between the more traditional shape or the modern compound bow.

My three had an absolutely fantastic time and couldn't believe the hour had gone so fast. The instructors are helpful without being intrusive and let my lot move their targets back when proved to be able to shoot at that range.
We'll certainly be back. The website contains all the information you need for opening times and classes but they are open on weekends which is great. And I must say too, it's a sport for all ages and sizes and nationalities - today there were small children, up to adults and older mums. Everyone has their own target to shoot at their level. Tables and chairs for the unlucky ones who are waiting for the archers. Ample parking out the front.
