Under the guidance of skilled instructors, the two-day course delved into various aspects of archery instruction, covering essential techniques, safety protocols, and effective teaching methodologies. Through hands-on practical sessions and comprehensive theoretical modules, the volunteers acquired the knowledge and expertise necessary to confidently teach cadets the intricacies of archery.

Colonel Catherine Harrison, the Commandant of Greater Manchester ACF, expressed her gratitude and extended heartfelt congratulations to all the volunteers who attended and successfully completed the course. Their commitment to enhancing their skills and expanding their capabilities in order to provide the best possible training experience for the cadets was commendable.
