About us

A Traditional/Primitive archery group shooting bare bow, no sights, triggers or modern aids.

We allow all Longbows bows, recurves take downs ect but no Compounds. Medieval style Crossbows are acceptable.

We are seeking keen archers who shoot the old way with a more friendly and non competative group. At the moment we have a limited collection of bows and arrows which begineers may use for a fee. We expect potential members to get their own gear within a reasonable time, we are not in the hire business.

Our programme

Wooden arrows with feather fetchings are encouraged but aluminium, carbon fibre or fibre glass are acceptable Chinese, Mongol horse bows and primitive homemade bows are encouraged and If you have a knowledge of bow or arrow making skills you would like to pass on, great.

Traditional archery needs practice and commitment to achieve a realistic level of shooting. If the back to basics is your thing come and try us out.

Shooting starts at 10am.

What you need to know

Archers must be 15 years or older, we may take younger archers if they are accompanied by a parent archer. And of course we welcome anyone as long as they are keen and have a strong interest in basic archery. We now have about finished a hunting field course with up to 20 targets set in a deep gully just by the stands at OD Park with easy access with parking.

At the moment there is no provision on the range for wheelchairs unless we can get a 4 wheel drive organised though the main range has full access.
