About
Looking for unique, action packed things to do in Dorset this summer holiday? Step into our hidden woodland ranges, frequently described by our guests as “Robin Hood’s camp” for an unforgettable outdoor adventure in the heart of the Dorset. At Insight Activities, target sports and woodland skills are our absolute passion.
We don’t pack out our ranges or rush your experience; we focus on quality time, small group numbers, and personal coaching with no waiting around. It is the perfect country sports experience for families, couples, stag and hen groups, or holidaymakers looking to experience the great outdoors. Our Summer Holiday Activities Include: Exclusive 3D Zombie Archery (Ages 10+): Only available at our Dorset venue!
Take your archery skills to the next level by shooting at realistic, life-sized 3D zombie targets hidden among the trees in our 15 acre woodland. Fun, immersive, and perfect for the whole family. Woodland Archery (Ages 6+): Learn the ancient skill of the recurve bow through fun target games and shooting challenges under the canopy of the trees.
Axe Throwing (Ages 12+): Learn the incredibly satisfying skill of throwing specialised axes into large rustic timber targets. Crossbow Shooting (12+): Our rifle crossbows are fitted with red-dot and telescopic sights to ensure accuracy on our longer distance shooting range.
