Armex Fun Fox crossbow
Fun crossbows fire sucker darts. You can use them for a whole range of fun activities: lots of people enjoy team games (a bit like a low-tech version of paintballing or laser tag), but you could also try target shooting to hone your accuracy.
Everyone in Scouts can get stuck in – there aren’t age limits here. They also work in all sorts of locations: indoors, outdoors, and even in specially-designed arenas. These fun crossbows are so adaptable, so you can design an activity that suits your group perfectly.
The indicative cost displayed above is based on 4 fun crossbows, including targets, for a 2 hour hire period. Actual cost will be displayed once you have chosen number of fun crossbows to be hired along with start and end time for the hire period. Minimum hire period is 2 hours per booked session which can be extended in 30 minute increments. Chargeable from collection through to return so ensure your booked start and finish dates& times match requested collection and return dates & times

Our NRSA qualified Instructors will run the range and provide instruction to participants. Currently, they are only available by prior arrangement. One instructor is recommended for every 6 Scouts/Explorers shooting; however, this ratio may be adjusted depending on the age/maturity of the shooters on agreement of the Instructor. Note Our minimum age for crossbow shooting is 10 years old. (note we do have 6 fun crossbows and targets for use by Beavers and Cubs which can be used anywhere within reason).The booking includes the use of the outdoor target sports range , crossbows (EK Archery Jaguar MK1 with 40lb draw weight fitted fitted red dot sight), crossbow targets suitable for use at 10m, target bosses and services of one qualified NRSA Crossbow YPS Tutor(or NRSA Club Instructor or Coach).
Each set of shooters will start with a 5-10 minute briefing on safety and use of crossbow for all shooters, allow 5 minute turnaround time between sets of shooters. Therefore in a 2 hour booking, 3 x 30 minutes sessions is possible allowing for safety briefing and changeovers (i.e 3 sessions x 6 crossbows = 18 participants).
