For New Archers!
Why not come along to one of our Have-A-Go days and try archery for free? See below.
We’re also running induction courses, there is one underway at the moment and we may run another later in the year.

We ran several in 2024, on Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th April 2:00pm – 5:00pm both days, on Thurs 22nd August & Monday 26th August 2024. Watch his space for next year’s dates.
Your chance to come along and have a go at archery, under the watchful eye of our club coaches, experienced archers, and those who had so much fun on their have-a-go last year that they joined the club! No booking, just turn up and have a go.

Club Target Days
We’ve re-introduced Club Target Days to encourage ArcheryGB Classifications and the associated bling that goes with them, and for those who want to try shooting some different rounds. (For Bowman classifications the shoot needs to be a formal event, hence the target days, while for Archer classifications a normal club practice day is fine). Click here for more details about Target Days.
