Holiday Archery in Clontarf: Redcliffe City Clay Target Club Sessions

Holiday Fun with Archery at Redcliffe City Clay Target Club sits on 267 Duffield Road in Clontarf, Queensland, Australia, just a short drive from Brisbane and the shores of Moreton Bay. This two-hour, coach-led holiday session is built for people 12 and up who want a fast, friendly introduction to archery: range safety, bow setup and handling, loading and release, and how to use sights to improve accuracy. The session opens with a clear safety brief and practical demonstrations on the outdoor range at the Redcliffe City Clay Target Club. Coaches break the class into small pods so every participant gets repetitive, supervised practice on foam and full-size targets. Bows are sized to each archer, distances are adjusted for ability, and the program alternates instruction with playful challenges—target duels, timed drills, and accuracy contests—to keep skill building social and lively. What makes this experience stand out in the Moreton Bay area is its combination of technical coaching and accessible club culture. The venue’s open range lets you feel coastal breezes that subtly affect arrow flight, a useful natural lesson in wind reading. For visitors who want skill, socializing, or an active holiday break, the session is a practical, low-barrier way to take up a disciplined outdoor pursuit without buying or transporting gear: everything is provided. Logistics are straightforward: arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled session to be issued equipment and check in with the archery coaches or staff at the range area. Groups are capped at 15 participants; the instructor:participant ratio and on-course adjustments mean novices, returning shooters, and mixed-ability friends can all participate safely. Note the rules—no open-toe footwear, no camouflage clothing, participants must be able to hold roughly 8 kg in their dominant hand, and all must have zero blood alcohol concentration. Guardians or assistants may attend free to support a participant. This session is ideal as a holiday activity, a team outing, or a first step into target archery before pursuing sessions or private coaching. It’s community-focused, coach-driven, and rooted in a real club environment at 267 Duffield Road. Book early for holiday slots—the format sells out quickly—and follow the provided referral link to reserve your place for a sharp, social introduction to archery. You won’t need to bring a bow, but pack a water bottle, closed-toe shoes, sun protection and any personal medication. Tie long hair back and remove jewellery before the session; coaches will brief on safe handling and release techniques and offer corrective feedback on stance, anchor points and sight alignment. Beginners typically see measurable progress within the two-hour session and can book follow-up classes or private tuition through the club if they want to develop further. Sessions foster safety-first atmosphere suitable for families.
