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 woodlands of the New Forest, you can get a feel of these traditional sporting activities the way they should be.

Arriving at the centre, you will meet your group in the car park, where you will be collected in an off-road 4x4 vehicle, then transported 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.

The experience was a gift from my son and his wife. My wife and I had originally booked a morning session but this had to be rearranged. Originally was offered another site which would have not suited but then offered the afternoon session on the same date at same location. We find the site without any issue. Our two instructors were informative and the level of instruction spot on for "newbies". We liked the format of the day with you choosing which activity you wanted to do once the training was completed. Very enjoyable, the time just flew which is a sure sign that you are having a good time.

Lots of fun, instructor communicated clearly safety aspects and what needed to be done to shot or throw. We had a good time. I particularly enjoyed the axe throwing, while my husband like the cross bow. Archery was fun with the instructor making up games for us to participate in at the end. I enjoyed the format where we all got to try each activity and then got time to move about freely. Highly recommend this

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed all three elements of this experience. The location is great and very calming and peaceful. Josh was our instructor and he was superb. He explained the various techniques at each station and pointed out safety issues and how to avoid them. He did so in a professional manner but also with a gentle humour so it didn't seem like we were being lectured! So our thanks to Josh. In short we had a blast!!

We had a really brilliant day with Glen who was our host. He was both extremely knowledgeable and also great fun, and the group of ten enjoyed every bit if it in a peaceful spot in the forest. The organisation of the day and safety precautions were impressive, and once we learnt each sport we could choose which we liked best. There are toilets, but do bring food or water if you need them. Highly recommended and well worth the money.

Two adults and a teenager had a great afternoon, learning archery, cross bow and axe throwing. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and its highly likely we will do it again with some friends. We definitely recommend it. Glen was a great coach, very engaging and insightful. There was about 10 of us, a small enough group to get individual guidance. Always active, no queuing or waiting, Just a great experience.

Unfortunately our sat-nav SP63DA took us to the other side of Alderholt and so we got lost, were late, and missed the introduction and the early stages of the archery. We must apologise for disrupting the tuition but Ken was very understanding but we felt uncomfortable for your other guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and intend to book again when we are in the area.

What a great time we had, the weather was lovely as well, which helped. It’s a lovely tucked away spot in the middle of a small wood. I thought the long bow would be harder to draw but it wasn’t, I managed to hit target after some great instruction. The highlight for me though was the crossbows, it was so much fun and definitely my favourite. Glen and Rob were very friendly and helpful.

We did the medieval weapons trio session. Glenn provided great instruction and tips along the way. It was really well organised and really fun too. Great to have a go at crossbow shooting, but the archery definitely ended up being my favourite - it was eye-opening! If I'm in the area again, I'll be back.

Really good day out! Two and a half hours was plenty of time, the activities were great fun and the instructor was top notch. Take your own food and drinks as there are no facilities except for a basic camping toilet. The site access is down a steep gravelly path so not great for those with reduced mobility but the site itself is fairly easy to get around. Easy to find using Google maps.

We had a brilliant time in the new forest on this experience. The instruction was fantastic meaning that we not only had really good fun, but also learnt a bit along the way while ensuring safe practices. Couldn't recommend this more highly! Plus Ken (the instructor) did well to ensure social distancing and hygiene considerations at all time.

I had never tried archery, crossbows or axe throwing so wasn't sure what to expect from this. We had a great afternoon in the countryside learning about all three, and it only took us about 25 mins to drive from Bournemouth. Our instructor Jeffrey was a great laugh throughout, and had expert knowledge about all of the sports. My favourite hands down had to be axe throwing - although it took a while to get the technique right! Once you've spent time on all three, you're given free reign to see out the end of your session on whichever stations you prefer which was brilliant. For the price, this is a great day out with friends or family.

What an amazing way to spend you day! My husband and I had previously taken part in archery and we really enjoyed it so we thought why not try this medieval sport trio. When we arrived on the sight we were greeted by Jeffery our lovely instructor. He gave us a briefing for archery we then moved on to crossbow and finally axe throwing. My favorite has to be the crossbow! I would defiantly recommend this experience to family and friends.

The organisation of the medieval sports was great from start to finish. The organisers had great experience and are very enthusiastic about the sports, their energy really rubs off making it so much fun. Normally in these situations there is lots of hanging around but there was plenty of space for everyone to have a go at the same time, fully utilising the time. Thanks for a great day out!!
