We shoot using Recurve bows, Compound bows, and Longbows, Mainly Target shooting (at targets on stands at known distances). We also shoot some Clout (shooting at a flag in the ground at 140 yds and upwards; and some Field shooting (at targets set out in woodlands).
Our members enjoy shooting in competitions (although you don't have to). We have archers at all levels of expertise, (including national and county champions) some of whom represent Bedfordshire in inter-county matches. We are also twinned with Siegburg, a German Archery club, and we take it in turns to host a summer exchange.
The club meets on Wednesday and Friday evenings during the summer season (April to September) and Thursday evenings during the winter season (October to March).
The club runs competitions, have-a-go days, fun shoots, and beginners courses. Club members help with club events to raise funds, and to maintain equipment and premises through working parties
We are friendly and helpful and will offer advice and encouragement on equipment and shooting (between making tea and cooking BBQ's! ).
