Vicki and Shaun - Founders, June 2026
We headed to Target Sports World in Romford to try our hand at compound archery, and it turned out to be one of those experiences that's much harder than you think, but very satisfying when you hit the target.
After a safety briefing and an introduction to the equipment, our instructor Abi showed us how to use the compound bows. She explained and demonstrated everything clearly, making sure we felt comfortable before stepping up to the shooting line as there is quite a lot to think about. Abi put us at ease, was super-friendly and non-judgemental even when we missed the target. Surprisingly, we were both hitting the target within our first six shots – albeit on the outer rings.
The bows are powerful but easy to handle, and there's a real sense of achievement every time you hear an arrow hit the target. As our confidence grew, so did our competitive streak, with plenty of friendly rivalry developing throughout the session, culminating in a points competition. With “Eye of the Tiger” playing at full blast I managed to beat Shaun - 34 points to 33 (which made my day!)
Between each round, Abi advised on adjusting our posture or by making small changes to the bow to improve our aim. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, and it was a fun hour spent learning a new skill.

Apart from a very wet and muddy field (which couldn't be helped), we had lots of fun! The staff were very attentive and engaging, the activities were varied, and we were given tips throughout to improve our skills. Really good fun, great for a unique afternoon.

Our archery experience was a lot of fun. Instructions prior to the event were very clear and helpful however we were a bit confused upon entry as there wasn’t a lot of sign posting for the venue/area. Host for our archery was really friendly, helpful with a good amount of banter which made it a good laugh for us and the group. She was good at teaching the technique and let us practice and play at our own paces. Event went on for around an hour so lots of practice before a few competitive games at the end. All in all great little activity and would recommend anyone who’s interested to go ahead and book.

Was really happy with the customer service team, as they held this spot from last year due to major illness. Thank you. Was supposed to go to the venue in Arnold & had booked a hotel only 10 mins away, but at the last minute were told we had to go to a different venue due to unexpected problems, we then had over an hours drive to the new venue. Not good but not there fault. We were so looking forward to this. We started with the archery which we really enjoyed & along with another couple had a good laugh , then moved on to axe & knife throwing. Another couple then joined!! Not as friendly as the others & it changed the mood a bit. We were a bit let down with the so called targets three bits of wood. I think you could have done better. Proper targets would have been better. Also we thought a bit of refreshments, like a drink would have been nice. All in all it was ok but that’s all.
