Looking for the perfect gift for the archer in your life? This weekend, the tradeshow at the National Indoors Weekend in Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, is packed with affordable and practical presents that are sure to delight any bow enthusiast. From stocking stuffers to must-have accessories, and with discounts on select items, now is the perfect time to stock up on essential archery gear and tick some of those Christmas presents off your list. Here are our top affordable picks.
Warm up with style
Treat the archer in your life (or yourself – no judgement!) To a lovely dark blue WIAWIS beanie, as modelled for us by Thea Rogers. Warm but light, it’s great for frostbite rounds or for those archers who refuse to come indoors during the winter.
£10 (badges are free, and very fun)
Elevate your game
Ramrods Archery are making a splash at the National Indoors Weekend with their stand full of hi-tech stabilisers and weights. This 4oz (113g) tungsten weight reduces the post-shot vibrations and can be used by compounds, recurves, and barebows to help steady the bow.
Retails at £32, but they’re offering a 15% show discount!
Another Ramrods entry is their XP Stabiliser – great for beginners and archers who are experimenting with stabilisation for the first time. Carbon with an internal dampening system, it’ll help make you more accurate and improve your shot response and has a maximum weight of 14oz. Modelled for us by Ramrods ambassador, Kai Thomas-Prause.
Starts at £58 for a 10” rod, but don’t forget that 15% show discount.
Fun and functional
If the archer in your life has all the kit, but you still want to buy them something archery-related, event-sponsor Wales Archery have bought some brilliant and funny wooden coasters with them. There are a number of different designs that are perfect for stocking fillers.
£7 each
Another great stocking filler that you know will get some use is this arrow glue from The Archery Company. Suitable for vanes, feathers, nocks, points and inserts and works well on carbon, aluminium, and wood, it dries fast and clear, making it ideal for emergency repairs on the equipment line. And who doesn’t want a product called dragon spit?
£10.95 for the 50g bottle (as shown) but smaller sizes available.
Track your progress
Finally, there’s the pocked-sized Archers Paradox Score Book from Clickers Archery for those archers who revel in analysing shots. With space to record up to 12 dozen arrow scores per sheet, covering every possible round, as well as other statistics such as your number of hits and golds.
Retails at £2.50, but just £2.10 at the show.
Come down to the National Indoor Championships this weekend to shop these affordable and practical gifts.
