Frequently asked questions
What is Insight Activities New Forest?
We are a small specialist provider of target sports and woodland skills in a beautiful private woodland at Featherdown Farm near Fordingbridge: award-winning archery, axe throwing, rifle crossbows and bushcraft, delivered in long, relaxed sessions with expert coaching and no queuing. Target sports are our speciality, not an add-on, and everyone is welcome; no previous experience is required.
What is the Medieval Trio?
Our most popular session: two and a half hours combining woodland archery, rifle crossbow shooting and axe throwing. Once you are briefed, you move freely between the activities as you choose: 12 archers can shoot at once on our range, and our unique 'angel' throwing axes, designed by us and forged by a local blacksmith, are suitable for total beginners. Skill over brawn, every time.
How much does it cost?
The Medieval Trio is £41.60 per person, or £40 per person for groups of four or more; archery-and-axe-only sessions run £37.33 (£35.20 for groups of four or more). Sessions are 2.5 hours. Pre-booking is essential for all sessions; book online, or by phone, text or email if we are in the woods with a group.
Can we book Insight Activities for a hen party?
We welcome stag and hen parties explicitly, and the format suits them: small groups, your own instructors, long sessions with plenty of action, and friendly competition through games and challenges as your skills build. Mastering medieval axe throwing will bring out the bride's inner warrior. Book for the whole party; dog friends are welcome too, we are 100% dog friendly.
Who can take part?
Axe throwing and crossbows are for ages 12 and over (the axes and crossbow draw weights need it); archery starts at 6, and under-12s in a mixed group simply stay on archery while the older ones rotate to the other ranges, always in close visual range with an adult supervising. There is no maximum age; our record is 93 and a half.

We had a fantastic time at Insight activities with Glenn (Bill bailey look a like!) and it was in a lovely location in the forest. There were 7 of us doing archery and 2 also did the axe throwing. Glen was a really lovelly guy. His instructions and guidance were very clear, he was patient, informative and adapted our session to our different age ranges and abilities and made the session fun. We will definitely be going back. Thank you for a really enjoyable afternoon.

My family took part in the trio medieval experience this week in the new forest what can I say but 5 stars! My husband and two teen boys loved it. Glen the instructor was not only lovely but he was amazing with my autistic teen. He encouraged the boys but also gave them space. His knowledge was great even down to why knights would face a certain way lol. My son told me “ if the apocalypse was ever to happen glen would definitely survive” 🤣 the set up was great and I got some great photos ( as mums do lol ) I’d recommend any family visiting the new forest with older children/adults give it ago. Glen also got to prove my son right when our car battery died lol glen to our rescue with jump leads and mum in the dog house for using the air con lol all in all a fun time was had by all thank you we will be back!
