Hijab-free archery (ladies only!)

In this ladies-only, hijab-free session, beginners will be introduced to the fundamentals of outdoor archery in a safe and supportive environment. We’ll cover the basics of safety, understanding of the bow, arrows, range, consistency and importance of proper release of arrows.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop your own knowledge of the sunnah practice, get hands on experience using a bow, and start hitting the bullseye!

This is a taster session with no previous experience required.  The session includes:

  • Introduction and safety briefing – understanding the equipment, safe handling, and range rules.
  • Basic technique training – learning correct stance, grip, nocking, drawing, and aiming.
  • Guided shooting practice – hands-on shooting with individual coaching to build confidence and accuracy.
  • Skill-building drills – fun activities and challenges to improve consistency and control.
  • Mini target competition – Putting new skills to the test in a friendly group competition.
  • Wrap-up and next steps – feedback, Q&A, and guidance for those wanting to continue their archery journey.

By the end of the taster session, participants will have mastered safe shooting basics, developed solid technique, and experienced the thrill of hitting targets with confidence.
