Sherwood Archers

Sherwood Archers are a friendly club shooting at our own field on the outskirts of Southwell. We are very fortunate to have our own shooting area that members are able to use every day of the week, competitions permitting. 

During the summer our coached club sessions are Friday evening and Saturday morning, where there are at least two qualified club coaches on hand.

We run beginners courses throughout the summer and are pleased to be able to offer individual tuition, if coaches are available.

We offer a subsidised Bow Rental scheme to assist archers with getting into the sport.

Sherwood Archers are proud to be part of Archery GB's Ontarget Programme

Throughout the year we host many competitions. These include: 

• Friendly club shoots, such as our Frost Bite Shoots on the first Sunday of the Winter months, and our Indoor & Outdoor Club Champs.

• Open Competitions, such as Pie & Beans Western, BLBS Shoot, Barebow / Longbow 2-way Western, Nottinghamshire League Shoot, Regional Champs, Nottinghamshire Indoor Championships and Day of National Rounds.

• Our special “Speak Challenge” Albion, when each year we compete with The Wakefield Archers for the right to say whether Robin Hood was from Nottinghamshire or Yorkshire!

• Many UK & World Record status Competitions, including Nationals, FITA, 720, indoor Portsmouth & 18m FITA.

We are a very social club and apart from hosting Competitions we also host many community ‘Have A Go’s’ and attend community events such as the Southwell Family Fun Day, to allow members of the public to try their hands at Robin Hood’s favourite past time, Archery. 

All of these events are well received and tremendous fun, raising the awareness of the sport of Archery and the profile of Sherwood Archers.
