Ready, aim, shoot!
Robin Hood was cool (no, not the Kevin Costner version) and William Tell was only a Granny Smith away from lodging an arrow through his son's noggin. With heroes like this in England's rich history who wouldn't want to pick up a bow and arrow, take aim and shoot 2 foot wide of the target to the heckling jeers of their compadres. With steady handedness a prerequisite, those who've had a heavy one the night before will be pulling their arrows from the dirt.
Luckily you'll have competition standard bows to use and instructors to help you to get to grips with them so you might just nail that bullseye. After a short practice it's competition time with the victor doubtlessly thrusting his bow skyward in jubilation, cheering and grunting like a Neanderthal who's just floored a Sabretooth on the hunt.

Includes:
- 30 min Archery session

Strike!
Experience what it's like to be hurled down a bowling lane by climbing into a giant ball and going for a fast-paced roll! One person at a time can be strapped securely into the ball before the other players roll the ball towards a set of bowling pins located 15 feet away. The team will be aiming to knock over as many pins as possible while you hold on tight and prepare for a wild ride!
