About

Authentic Woodland Weaponry in Tolpuddle, Dorset. Pre-Booking Essential

Nestled in a rustic woodland you will find Insight Activities shooting and throwing ranges where anyone can learn the arts of Archery, Crossbows, Axe Throwing and Archery Combat Tag in Dorset.

Insight Activities are a small specialist provider, not a large multi activity centre. If you want excellent instruction using top quality weapons in a rustic woodland, then please book with us. No having to share your go, you will be fully engaged for the whole session.

Our woodland archery ranges in Dorset are equipped with a full range of professional archery bows, rifle crossbows and custom throwing axes -targets can be adjusted to skill level, shoot for balloons, shoot for Zombies and play some competitive games to make it even more fun.

Calling all Walking Dead fans...Our Rifle Crossbows are fitted with powerful magnified scopes to help you shoot for Zombies’ heads at 25m. Perfect for all aspiring Zombie killers.

Connect with your inner warrior and experience the medieval art of Axe Throwing. Our custom made battle axes are truly unique, beware of imitations. A safe, fun and engaging activity for all aged 12+.

We also offer – Archery Combat Tag – an exciting team based combat game. Full power Archery bows with specifically designed ‘tagging’ arrows, allows us to shoot safely at each other! Essentially..Archery Paintball!! Take cover behind trees and be the first team to eliminate the opposition. Virtually painless, unlike paintball – Archery Combat is a safe, fun, and intense archery experience – the most fun you’re ever likely ever have with a bow and arrow! Ages 10+.

We provide outdoor activities in Dorset for: Individuals, Couples, Families, Social Groups, Stag and Hen parties, Hotels & Corporate events. We are also 100% mobile so can bring our activities to you!
