Black Cat Archery Story
Black Cat Archery Ltd has been an idea that has been brewing in Andrew’s mind for the past few years. The idea started as a concept where a company could arrange archery based holidays to various events and sites related to archery. International competitions was one area and the other was key historic sites such as Crecy, Agincourt etc.
As time move on the concept developed into an archery centre where there would be ranges for people to shoot, Clubs for archers to join, Coaching and training, retail for archery products and of course the Black Cat Experience which still has the archery holiday in its future plans but for the short term experience is now based at our site.
The site became available in 2010 and like minded colleagues pooled their resources and committed to the Black Cat concept and we began trading May 2010. The retail stock was purchased and the woodland site had to be clean out. It was previously used as a paint ball site and it took a few months and many large containers to remove the rubbish and prepare the woods for the 3D range.
The range opened in October and has been very popular. The shop is gained momentum both physical at Wootton Bassett and online. The on line shop originally selected proved to be inadequate and a new version is now in use and was released to the web site fir 2011.
The original 24 3D targets have bedded in and an additional 12 3D range has now been commissioned and has the added dimension of being designed more for the archer with sights. Smaller and more difficult. Black Cat has also tried to keep in mind access for disable archers and we may still need to do more work in this area but our intention is clear in term of access for all.
Many people has now been through the academy for the 4 week course designed specifically to give people a choice and allow then to decide which form of archery best suit them. Having started with target archery 20+ years ago, boredom soon set in so it was important to expose new archers to as much variety as possible. Training will a small student to coach ratio, maximum 4 archer to one coach. This maximises bow time and allows for more one on one time.
Planning permission has been granted for our operation this year and we can now progress our site on to include a new range for the younger archer, building of a ‘club house’ and developing our long terms plans.
We are always looking for help, assistance and investment offers into the business. Please contact us if you want to be involved with this new venture at its early stage of development. Contact Andrew; andrew@blackcatarchery.com or phone : 07809 729260
