Make your own ash bow over the course of 1 day either in the woods around a camp fire or inside the workshop during colder months

Have you ever wanted to have a bow that you can really have true ownership over?

Now Strike Archery is proud to offer this exciting course where, over two days and under full tuition, you craft your own longbow.

Starting out with a blank tri-laminate stave you learn to shape the bow using traditional hand tools before tillering to learn what to look for in the bend as you work it to “full compass”.

You then go on to shape and fit the horn nocks before adding an arrow pass and making your own string.

Our experienced bowyers guide you at every step and can cater for all abilities. Lunch is included on both days as well as all the tea/coffee you can drink.

Learn to make arrows the traditional way!

This one day course will take you through hand planing your own arrow shafts from straight grained ash. You will learn how to insert horn for strength before cutting the nock.

You learn how to fletch by hand using a traditional glue mix, binding your fletchings on with silk and cutting them to shape.

Lunch is included and you can take home as many arrows as you can make in the day.

Courses are tailored to individual needs, so make sure to let us know if you want to make heavy military arrows or lighter but authentic looking re-enactment arrows

Learn to make your own arrows!
This one day course will take you through preparing your own arrow shafts from straight grained timber before cutting the nocks.
Our instructors will then teach you the secrets of shaping the feathers into fletchings and then whipping them to the shaft.
Lunch is included and you can take home as many arrows as you can make in the day.
