Crowthorne Archers

Crowthorne Archers is primarily a target archery club, and the majority of our members shoot the recurve bow, but of course we'd welcome almost all other forms of bow (e.g., longbow, etc.) to the club. Unfortunately the following CANNOT be accommodated: Compound Bows - due to the length of the field we are unable to provide the overshoot distance r... equired Carbon-only Arrows - we shoot on a school playing field and therefore arrows must be detected using metal detectors We invite people of all ages to try archery and enjoy the sport with us. Archery is particularly suited to whole family participation, and we provide properly qualified and insured instruction together with all of the equipment necessary to start and learn. The basics of the sport are easy to learn, with no significant physical requirements, and only require a responsible attitude. Please visit the "Becoming an Archer" page to see more about what we can offer. Many of our Archers shoot purely for recreation, but others have worked hard at their shooting and have been very successful in competitions. Some of our members have represented Berkshire in the adult recurve, adult longbow and junior teams. Our junior members have been particularly successful, many having held British records. One represented Great Britain in 2004 and another in 1996. Visitors are always welcome to come and shoot with us, but please do bring your Archery GB Membership Card or some form of recognition of membership of another club (receipt for payment, etc.) - this is required for insurance purposes and we cannot allow visitors to shoot without that proof of capability.Read More
