Try your hand at a three traditional medieval sports during this axe throwing, archery and crossbow experience in Dorset!

Weaponry Experience Days: Unleash your inner warrior with this Medieval Sport Trio. You can experience first-hand how things were done in medieval times by participating in Archery, Axe Throwing and Crossbows. Located in the picturesque Dorset countryside, you can get a feel of these traditional sporting activities the way they should be.

Arriving at the centre, you will meet your group and will be taken to the shooting ranges for your activities. Beginning with Archery, you will receive expert tuition from a professional ArcheryGB coach. You will be trained to hit targets from up to 20m away and practise your aim by shooting small balloons.
Once you are confident in Archery you can go up a level to Crossbows. If you are a fan of The Walking Dead, this is sure to make you feel like you’re the next Daryl! You will be aiming at zombies from a 25m distance, with the help of the magnified scope you will definitely succeed in hitting bullseye - or in this case - the zombie’s head!
Once you’ve mastered the crossbow, you can move onto the rugged activity that is Axe Throwing! You will learn this ancient skill with custom designed unique battle axes that have been forged by a local New Forest blacksmith.

Once you have had a go at each of the activities and still want more, you can work your way around the activities at your own pace. You may want to focus on perfecting your throw, hitting those balloon targets by engaging in your inner Robin Hood, or concentrate on getting those zombies with the more modern alternative, the Crossbow.

This experience is a great gift idea for those of you that want to enjoy a traditional country pursuit with a group of your most competitive friends or family.

What better way to spend your wedding anniversary than throwing axes and shooting bows and arrows at, ahem, WITH your partner! We had a brilliant time, in a beautiful setting, under the watchful and expert eye of Nick who is a fantastic teacher. We're already planning our next visit, with the children this time. Highly recommend this 5* experience for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, and wants to do something a little different................be warned, it can get more competitive than Monopoly!

We weren’t quite sure what to expect but we had a very pleasant time. The instructor (Josh I think) was patient and very good at explaining what to do, paying particular attention to safety issues. The group size, seven, was just right and contributed to a relaxing, stress free experience.

While the setting is yet to be developed the welcome, organisation, instruction and opportunity to practice the skills of archery, crossbow and axe trowing were excellent; thanks to Josh and his colleague. A few enjoyable hours well spent.

Really enjoyed the morning spent with my dad shooting arrows and crossbows and throwing little axes. The site was an easy to find little field with the three activities set up nice and close to each other. There is a loo but otherwise no facilities. I have rated it 4 not 5 simply because it is very basic. But this isnt always a bad thing. The instructor was very pleasant, although his lovely dog Charlie stole the show. Once instructed, we were left free to do the activities as we wanted. Luckily there was only a few of us so no sharing or swapping equipment. Wouldnt travel hours for this, but as we are local it was easily worth the money.
