Club rulesCan members please adhere to the club rules and etiquette of shooting. Do not touch another archer’s equipment, including bosses and stands.

Members who wish to take part in club shoots must turn up at least 45 minutes before to help set up the range/field. You will also be expected to help clear the range/field at the end of the shoot.

To secure your place in a club shoot, you need to put your name on the board at least 24 hours prior to the shoot. Failure to do so can result in you turning up only to discover there is no space for you to shoot.

Coaching: Archers requiring assistance to contact one of the coaching team to arrange a coaching session.
