Come and Experience Crossbow Shooting
You've seen them in films, and now you can use your very own crossbow in real life here at Live for Today, Yorkshire’s most popular and highly rated outdoor activity centre. The best way to describe our crossbows activity is to say it’s like a mix of two other of our popular activity sessions – Air Rifle Shooting and Archery.
Easier to handle than you might think and strikingly accurate, we will have you shooting your crossbow safely, comfortably and with pro-like precision in no time. Our highly qualified instructors love entertaining visitors of all abilities, from complete beginners wanting to try a cool new activity to those a little more experienced who want to hone their shooting skills. Our crossbows sessions are certainly challenging (in a good way) but they are also 100% guaranteed super fun.
During your crossbows session, you will have plenty of shots to practice your new skill and to gain mastery of your very own crossbow. As you develop and improve, completely at your own level, your instructor will start to introduce you to a variety of fun-filled games and challenges, including Killer, Shoot the Stag, and the ever popular Destroy the Zombies. NB – only headshots count in this particular challenge!
The brilliant thing about crossbows is that they can be easily manoeuvred to allow you to shoot at a variety of different targets in the most powerful and accurate ways.
Trust us, you’ll surprise yourself at just how much fun you’ll have.
Worried about Rain? Fear not, all our ranges are under cover so you’ll be absolutely fine. We can’t help you with your aiming though.

What To Expect on the Day
After booking your crossbow experience, you will receive a confirmation email with all the details on how to find us and where to park. We have plenty of free parking onsite.
We ask that you arrive around 15 minutes before your session. On arrival you’ll be asked to fill out a quick disclaimer and then be introduced to your instructor. They’ll give you a quick brief on what to expect and how the session will run.
It’s then time to head to the crossbow range where your professional instructor will show you how to safely handle, load and shoot our crossbows.
On the range we have a variety of targets including your classic round targets, dart targets, Zombie Targets and even Zombie Heads!!! We can’t explain the satisfaction you feel after hitting one of the zombie heads full on.
As with all our ranges, we have a variety of fun and exciting games to crown you or your friend the Zombie Hunter.
Would highly recommend!
Thank you Adam and Layreb

Most people can load the bows on their own, however if you are struggling then our friendly instructor will be on hand to help. Just keep providing them with tea and coffee.
