Had an amazing day out on the Now Strike Archery, Longbow experience day. From start to finish it was packed with historical facts as we made our way as English bowman to the Battle of Crecy and taking back the Crown for the rightful King of France, King Edward. Adam was so knowledgable and enthusiastic, a great day out for kids and adults, you won’t be disappointed. Even the rain didn’t soak our spirits. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!

Absolutely amazing. Even though I hadn't done 6 much woodwork before, I made my own laminate longbow. It's a beautiful bow and shoots so well. After attending a couple of fabulous Longbow Immersion days through Now Strike, I signed up for the 2d 'Make Your Own Laminate Longbow' course. If you've not been on one these hugely enjoyable days are literally immersive longbow shooting set within an historic atmosphere of the medieval archers of the 100 years War. After this I just had to learn how to make my own bow. Over two days I was guided through all of the stages from taking a glued stave and crafting to making a 'full compass' longbow, based on the traditional Mary Rose template. The atmosphere was relaxed, the chat was good, the tea flowed. I was well supervised without being micromanaged. The course was run by Adam, who is hugely knowledgeable and very willing to pass on the tricks of this medieval trade. The finished bow is an absolute joy, has a mean draw but is also beautiful to look at - and to hold. I needed some extras to get me started so bought the hand and wrist protectors and also a set of handmade medieval-style arrows - all of which Adam was able to supply. I just know those arrows are going to go astray so I'll probably need to sign up for the medieval arrow making course! They also do a smithing course to make your arrow tips. A big thanks to Adam and to Now Strike. I'll book another Longbow Immersion day during summer. Now... I can't wait to give that bow a good workout.
Great team. Well organised. Friendly. Longbow taster was fab
Fantastic Experience. Highly recommended. Took a group of 8, 5 adults and three 9 yr olds, on this experience today. Adam and Charlie were fantastic. The day started at 10am and finished at 3pm. We were taught how to handle and shoot longbows and had a variety of different targets and games to play throughout the day. Lunch was provided. For most people, the history lesson given all the way round would be great, for me not so much, but take nothing away from Adam, his delivery of the experience was first class. Many thanks!
A superb experience to be had, we tried the Longbow family taster session and it did not disappoint. Very relaxed atmosphere with a good focus on safety but with a heap of history and fun to be had. Adam, the instructor sets out a great experience, even if you're a total novice.
