Joining GoldCrest
If you are new to archery, you must first complete the four week beginners' course in order to be eligible to join the club.
​
This course teaches you the basics of archery including the all-important safety rules.
It will help you learn to assemble and disassemble your bow, shoot using the correct technique and safely. The course is run over four consecutive weeks times and days to be arranged.
​
The course is run at our indoor range at Redfern House Hyde and the cost of this course is £80 and takes 4 weeks to apply for a place please use the contact us section on the home page.

Equipment Hire
At Goldcrest you can hire Archery equipment for as long as you need, at a monthly cost of £20.
​
The equipment package included the sole use of a bow, sights, stabiliser, arrows and a quiver, nobody else will use this equipment whilst you are hiring it.
​
As you develop, we can change the limbs on your bow for ones that are more powerful until you reach a point where you are comfortable or may wish to purchase your own.
​
You can also pay a one-off charge of £20 which will provide you with an arm guard (to protect your arm) and a finger tab (to protect your fingers from the bowstring).
