Adventure Sports

South Warwickshire and North Cotswolds Now Magazine has teamed up with Adventure Sports to offer lucky readers the chance to win an action-packed axethrowing and archery session for two people.

The popular outdoor activity centre is the only place in Warwickshire where you’re invited to throw axes – for fun!

Participants are introduced first to the basic techniques, throwing a small 10-inch metal axe called an Angel from a distance of three metres to a roundel target, before progressing to the larger Tomahawk axes from a longer distance of six metres. The hour-long session ends in a scored competition.

Then it’s off to the archery field where an experienced instructor will teach participants how to hold a bow, aim and shoot at an official competition-size archery target. A series of practice arrows will allow the basics to be mastered before the session moves on to a competition round. wThese are among more than 50 exhilarating activities on offer at Adventure Sports which this year celebrates its 30th anniversary in Wedgnock Lane, Warwick.
