Really enjoyed a days long bow experience with Now Strike.I was in a group of about a dozen fellow archers. The tuition was good and we had plenty of chance to shoot, in several different formats , all interspersed with a graphic account of a famous historic battle.I would definitely recommend it and indeed I would like to return.The staff at Into the Blue were very helpful and friendly and id also use them again.
