Meet The Team
Adam Jenkins
Director
Adam is the Director of Now Strike Archery and brings a diversity of skills to the company. Adam has had many varied careers including working for local authorities, working within the animal industry at zoos and within the outdoor sports industry where he delivered and became experienced with various outdoor pursuits.
Adam always had a passion for history and applied this when he moved away from modern archery and started shooting longbows.
Adam is proud to have built Now Strike into what it is today and says “Now Strike is so much more than a passion for shooting historic bows, we make people happy and help them create wonderful memories to cherish forever”.
Adam loves to concentrate on developing and delivering the outdoor activities to pass on his passion to others.
His hobbies include motorcycling and photography.
Greg Beere
Coordinator
Greg has been with Now Strike Archery since 2018 when he joined us for a large arrow making project.
Greg has a passion for craft which he has applied in both the bow making workshop and the metal working forge. As a former secondary school teacher he is well suited to lead on most of our craft courses in addition to the outdoor sessions while drawing the best out of his students.
Adam met Greg as part of a regular HEMA class that they both attend. It was quickly apparent that he shared a passion for history and would fit into the company well.
Greg’s hobbies include martial arts and various geek culture.
