Fun Shoot
We hosted our very first fun shoot on Sunday 14th July 2024, and it was jolly good fun. We’re planning on repeating it with a few improvements next July 2025. Come along and join in, open to all clubs, everyone is welcome.
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.
All Sunday afternoons in the Indoor Season 2024-25 are designated Target Days, since most people are shooting the same round and scoring formally. So, Bowman Classifications here we come.
Shooting Places and Times
Outdoor Shooting 2025
At the Fakenham Racecourse NR21 7NY, entrance off Hempton Road. Park at The Gallow social centre car park, walk across the racetrack and turn right. You’ll find us by the wooden pavilion.
Shooting Times Outdoors
We have set start times, but finish when everyone has had their fill, or it gets too dark.
Sundays in summer: 2pm till ~8pm. In winter 2pm-dusk.
Note that on some Sundays we shoot clout rather than targets, see the Shooting Calendar.
Thursdays in summer: 2pm till ~8pm. In winter 2pm-dusk.
Tuesday mornings: 9:30am – 11:30am, weather dependent.
If the weather’s very bad, contact one of the Field Captains just to check shooting is still on. There will be a list with mobile numbers on the members pages shortly and a link here.
Indoor Shooting Winter 2024-25
At the Sports & Fitness Centre, Trap Lane, NR21 9HL. Next door to Fakenham Academy.
Shooting Times Indoors
Sundays 2pm – 4pm.
The indoor season starts on Sunday 13th October 2024. Check the Club Calendar for full dates for the season.
The hall is expensive to book so we ask visiting archers for a modest £5 shooting fee to cover part of the cost.
