You step onto a flat stretch of manicured grass as the instructor counts down; the string hums, the arrow hisses, and for a moment the shoreline wind seems to lean toward the target. The range sits at the centre of the grounds, an open arena that lets the sea breeze play with fletchings and the afternoon light outline foam 3‑D targets and standard faces.
