Archery for All
We are a large Archery GB affiliated club, supporting anyone who wants to shoot regardless of their background, age, or capability. Support is provided to all who need a little extra help to ensure they can participate in the sport. Our coaches are on hand to support the development of everyone's archery. The club is an Archery GB OnTarget club which supports the our development. We support everyone's goals in archery, be that to shoot a few arrows for fun, enjoy the odd picnic and after shooting social events, or those who shoot competitively (we have former county and national champions in our ranks).
Different Types of Archery
The club supports the bow styles of recurve, compound, longbow, barebow and flatbow. We support shooting the archery disciplines of target and clout. We are one of the few clubs in the area who have a ground big enough to shoot clout archery (shooting at a flag between 80m and 165m away).
Challenge Yourself
There are numerous ways you can challenge yourself with your archery. There are various individual awards you can obtain designed for both adults and juniors. You can compete at different levels of competitions from very informal club competitions, friendly inter-club shoots, postal leagues (individual and teams) to more formal tournaments at county, regional and national level. The club will support you in whatever level of archery you wish to participate. This is helped by us having a number of coaches.
