Archery Range

For the summer of 2024, Merebrook campsite has been allocated as an archery range for July & August with bosses provided. You will need to bring your own equipment and instructor. For Macclesfield & Congleton groups, your instructor will be able to borrow district equipment from HQ.

At other times, you will need to bring your own bosses as well and book a site for the activity via the bookings secretary.

The range area must be marked off and danger signs displayed prior to shooting.

The qualified instructor in charge must operate to high safety standards and is responsible for the range set up and safety. Instructors who are members of the Scout Association must hold a valid archery permit and have had the activity approved by their DC/District Lead Volunteer.

The camp leader must inform the duty warden if any arrows are not retrieved. Carbon shaft arrows are not to be used.

Archery may not be practiced anywhere else on site without explicit permission from the Barnswood Team.
