1-1 Coaching
Normal session length 1-2hrs| rate £40/hour | minimum booking 1hr
Need help with developing or refining your technique? Got an issue that needs fixing, or a season you need help to plan? Changing discipline? Then this is what you need – up to two hours with a coach all to yourself. Book online for sessions outdoors at Oxford or at the indoor range in Abingdon here. For other locations please contact me first using the website contact form.
Video Coaching
Normal session length N/A| flat fee £45
1-1 coaching in the age of social distancing, or for those of you who are too far away from Oxford to make in-person visits affordable. Use your phone camera or normal video equipment to capture some videos of you shooting (we will provide a shot list to make sure all the necessary angles are covered) and upload to the link provided. You’ll get back two videos – one a detailed analysis of your form walking you through any issues in slow motion with annotations, the other showing you how to fix these issues and work on them in your training. These work really well for archers who are new to working with a performance coach and are developing more advanced technique, or anyone who likes the idea of being able to replay a video whenever their technique wanders off course.
Group/squad coaching
Normal session length 2-3hrs| rate £40/hour | minimum booking 2hrs
Want to spread the cost of first aid coaching with a group of your friends? Or do you run a team or squad who need a development programme, or preparation for an upcoming tournament? We have over a decade of experience working with club teams, university teams, and county squads, who have gone on to medal at the most prestigious national events – contact us with your requirements to see what we could do for you!

Equipment MOT
Normal session length 1hr| flat fee £35
You get your car done every year, but what about your bow? Are you sure it is performing as well as it could? Time to take the guesswork out of your gear. We will carry out a thorough 44 point assessment of your kit including everything from tiller, alignment, and brace settings right through to dynamic stabiliser balance and arrow specification. At the end of the assessment we provide you with a kit record and clear summary of our recommendations to work on. Available for compound and recurve archers.
Cable fitting and basic compound bow set up
Normal session length 1hr| flat fee £45
New set of cables to fit? Brand new bow to set up? Is your trusty old compound in need of modification or a bit of TLC? No problem! Our skills include fitting and adjusting new cables, correcting straightness and cam timing, fitting and tuning new peep sights and d loops, replacing modules, cams, or even limbs. Contact us to discuss your requirements – please note that we cannot supply parts for you, but can recommend suppliers if you need it. We can supply d loop and serving/nocking point material, in black only.
