If you can’t decide which one of our kick ass experiences to choose, don’t, and just do them all!
This experience includes fire lighting using natural materials and sparks along with how to build a shelter with materials provided by nature in our private woodland. This is the core of survival and you will have the opportunity to build your camp, light your fire and enjoy your hot brew and biscuits like a true survivor.
Now we will delve into the world of shooting with bows and firearms.
We will start on our archery range honing your aim with the bow and you will soon be hitting targets and building your confidence before the real challenge of moving, stalking and making that shot count when it matters the most.
On our custom built field archery range we have numerous targets hidden away in our woodland for you to find. Forget that dusty old archery session you did before, this is real surviving!
We will head to the range and master the fundamentals of precision shooting using range finders, breathing and trigger control. With loads of sneaky targets at various distances our range is a real challenge!
Once you’re dialled in and hitting those targets it’s time to put your skills to the test on “Jungle Lane”. Here you will move with your rifle between various shooting positions at various ranges and use your binoculars to dial in your scope and make that shot. One shot, one hit!
This experience is offered on a private booking basis for you and your group, giving you flexibility to choose the date that works best for you. The minimum requirement is two adult tickets when booking this private activity.
This full day experience runs from 10:00 – approx 15:00.
This activity is run from our fixed camp deep in the forest on the shores of Windermere, in the heart of the Lake District.
Full directions will be provided with your booking confirmation.
