Our News Headlines at the foot of this page also keep you updated with what's been happening recently at MRM Archery.

Archery in Scotland

Archery in Scotland can be enjoyed by almost everybody whether they are able-bodied, or have a disability, although clients with particular needs should contact MRM Archery in advance to discuss their requirements. We are experienced in teaching people with a range of physical and learning disabilities and sensory impairment. People of all ages can try archery although we recommend a minimum age of approx. 12 years old for our beginners courses.

We are a mobile business and can support you at your own venue, a venue of your choice or provide you with one of three fantastic venues in Central Scotland - they are all within easy reach of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Whilst we provide archery in Scotland we will also travel throughout the UK. We provide all the archery equipment needed eg targets, bows, arrows etc. In addition to providing a full safety briefing, archery instruction and tuition we will undertake a risk assessment of your venue and provide you with a full written report.

Archery Classes & Lessons

Our archery classes and lessons are fun sessions which last approximately 1 hour. They are provided at our own venues, or a venue of your choice, and are specifically aimed at those who have little or no experience in archery. At our classes you will learn about the equipment we use and the basics of how to shoot a bow safely and effectively - you will be surprised by how quickly you will hit the target. Our classes can add a real fun element and challenge to corporate events, school activities, children's parties and stag and hen parties. In partnership with the venues we work with we can put together a package of various activities for your group - just contact us and we can discuss what's on offer.

Archery Courses

Beginners Course: If you want to learn more about archery then our beginners course is for you. Our beginners course runs over three consecutive weeks and lasts for approximately one and a half hours each week. The course will cover a range of topics such as safety, archery technique, equipment and scoring.

"This was the most fun thing I have done all year"

Moira has been fantastic on the Leaders course. Everything learned was in a comfortable environment and spoken with ease and understanding."

"What a fantastic afternoon - you made my hen do event perfect. Everyone had a great time, everyone was involved and lots of laughs. Thanks MRM for such a great experience, I'll happily recommend you to everyone I know."

"I am a complete newcomer to archery in general, but I have to say that everything I was taught on my beginners course is 100% relevant to everything I have done in compound archery. Even from stance, to mental attitude to shot execution."
