Archery D&D
In between beginner lessons a few of us started talking about Dungeons and Dragons. Nerdyness aside, the conversation eventually led to a very important question: Archery + D&D = ?

Introducing Archery D&D!

The basic concept is that shooting should replace as much of the dice action as possible in D&D, for example the combined score of 2 arrows would replace d20. Of course there would also be mechanics in place to ensure the game is challenging but enjoyable to all level of archers.

We'll be running a beta of this game very soon, if you're interested or want to join, please email us at the usual address at the top of the page.

In other news, we're finally done with beginner lessons and regular shooting will begin next week. Our hours will be 5-8pm Tuesdays and Thursdays

Beginner Lessons

Beginner lessons will be happening on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the this week and next at 5:30, 6:00 and 6:30. It is important that you attend the lession you've signed up as we'll be teaching you things vital to range safety during those lessons.

If you have since made changes to your timetable and now you cannot attend your beginner lesson because of a class conflict, then please email us and we will try to make other arrangements for you.
