__________________________________________
Our club is proud to be open and welcoming to anyone who wishes to take up archery. So if you want to get involved in the sport, we want you to. All our competitions have categories for Gents / Ladies, novice (those who have not held national archery membership before September of this year) / experienced, longbow / barebow / freestyle / compound. So if you want to represent your university; you can. However, whilst these categories do exist, we go to the competitions together & we train together. So regardless of if you want to compete or not, or what category you may fit into; you'll be shooting alongside everyone else.
__________________________________________
We shoot indoors at Coombe Di**le every Wednesday (19:30 - 22:00), Friday (19:00 - 22:00) and Sunday (9:00 - 12:00). Once we get to around the end of the 2nd term, we start transitioning to outdoor shooting (also at Coombe Di**le) which will be arranged nearer the time.

We also have a Development membership which costs £35 for the year and includes all the benefits of a Social membership, plus access to the third session which will be more focused and will include group coaching.
