Kingston Archers

We are a friendly local archery club in Bradford-On-Avon. We shoot a mixture of recurve and longbows with a few compound archers as well.

For information on beginners courses please contact: [email protected] ABOUT
Kingston Archers is an archery club based in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire. It consists of 31 senior and 8 junior members, the members come from all walks of life and range from 11 to 70+ years of age. The present club members shoot a mixture of recurve bows and traditional Longbows, people who shoot with Compound

bows are also welcome. Unfortunately Kingston Archers have no facilities for people interested in Field Archery and no crossbows are permitted. CLUB HISTORY
The club was founded in 1968 by a group of local people who worked for the Avon Rubber Company. The founders of the club decided to use the name "Kingston Archers" because of strong historical connections with the town. The company was a major employer in the area at that time, and provided a sports ground for employees to use during their spare time. The ground was large enough to be used as an archery field and it also had space for a building to store equipment when it was not in use. The surrounding area was heavily involved in the woolen industry, with several woolen mills having been built within the town. In later years these former mill buildings were used by the Avon Rubber Company for their operations. One of the buildings was known as "Kingston Mill" and it was from there that the club got its name. Avon rubber has now moved out of the town and the ground has been taken over by the National Playing Fields Association. Kingston Archers, although becoming independent from Avon Rubber continued to use the site until July 2019 when we eventually moved to grounds adjoining Bradford on Avon rugby club in Winsley.

Despite some wind and rain (heavy on occasion) several club members were out representing at Bath Archers Albion competition. As you can see the weather did not dampen our spirits, we had fun and even managed to bring home some medals.

This weekend we had our annual Halloween shoot. 🎃
Great fun, always something different to a normal shoot and with a devious twist resulting in deducted points to all those who fail. Well done to Peter for winning this year, and taking home the prized pumpkin and enough sweets to keep this year horde of trick or treaters happy. 🏹🎃👻🧙‍♀️🏹

This Thursday a handful of Kingston Archers embarked on their journey of continual improvement with a well delivered (and highly recommended) development coaching session by Wessex Archery Coaching

With the use of technology, good thought out drills and direct feedback each member has walked away being that little bit more knowledgeable and focused on key areas of change that will hopefully lead to better performances, consistency and growth to becoming better archers.

Thanks again Tim for the great session. For those Kingston Archers not in this initial group taking part in these development coaching sessions, there was talk on starting a second group so that every member that wishes to take part can. We believe these coaching opportunities should be available to all and we will in time be providing further details.
