Did an online game today - absolutely great fun - the room was interesting and a reasonable challenge - as best as can be via zoom, Sophie our virtual host was fun, chatty and made the experience even better. I can't recommend this or the other online trapp'd rooms enough.

I have been involved in archery since the of age eleven; I am now sixty one. I recently attended a two hour session at the indoor archery range and found it to be everything needed both for the beginner archer as well the experienced archer. The facilities are first rate and safe. The archery coach was friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and a good instructor. Whilst I was there I witnessed a lesson with two novices and within no time at all they were claiming centre bulls eyes. Highly recommended and very reasoably priced.
