This is what school holidays SHOULD look like 🪨➡️💚

If you are in Hawkes Bay and looking for something to do definitely check this place out. We’ve had this amazing whānau through our workshop recently and highly recommend supporting them.

Kia ora guys, Owen and Taura from AlphaXe Archery here 👋 Hardest post we've made to date but full transparency here:

**Update: We are not closing yet but if we are unable to turn things around with some bookings we have a few months left on the books. This is just our last outreach to the community to see if we can get back on track and let everyone know we are here 🤞🏼🙏🏼**

If you’re from Hawke’s Bay and have ever wanted to try archery, axe throwing, combat tag, or air pistol shooting, now is the time to come check us out.

Like many people and small businesses across the Bay, we’ve reached a point where staying above water is becoming extremely tough. We also know there are still plenty of people out there who don’t even know we exist.

So before we get to the point of calling it and shutting our doors for good, we wanted to put one final message out there for anyone who’s been curious, thinking about it, or just hasn’t made it in yet.

We understand that for most, times are tight and spending on entertainment isn’t possible right now. But if you’ve been meaning to come through, this is your opportunity to support local and experience something different before it may be gone.

Ngā mihi nui for all the support we’ve had so far, it truly means a lot ❤️
