The club will provide you with all the necessary archery equipment so all you need to think about is your personal comfort – warm clothing (nothing too baggy) and a bottle of water are really useful and if you're lucky enough to catch the good weather remember to bring sun cream. Purchasing your own bow is a big decision not to be taken lightly and we discourage new members from buying equipment until they have completed the course, you need to have some experience before you can properly select the best equipment to suit your shooting style.

The courses are held at our outdoor venue ‘Up Yonder’, Bury Hill, Moorend, Hambrook, Bristol, BS16 1SS.

As our courses are outdoors we are at the mercy of the Great British weather, we shoot in most conditions but if it is not safe to shoot the session will have to be postponed, we will give you as much notice as possible via the email that you use to sign up to the course.

Please make sure you dress appropriately for the weather, warm clothes and waterproofs will make your shooting much more comfortable if it rains (don't forget sun cream, just in case).

Archery is a wonderfully adaptable sport and we are able to cater to almost everyone, if you have a disability or require any additional assistance you must let us know in advance of the course. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully adapt our sessions if we are not informed of requirements in advance. Our outdoor venue is fully accessible, however, shooting takes place from a grass shooting point and this can become very muddy in inclement weather.

Once you have successfully completed the Beginners' Course, you will be able to join Cleve Archers, or you can take your certificate and use it to join any other Archery GB club. As a member of the club you can continue using the club equipment at our coach supported sessions or you can buy your very own bow and make use of the excellent club facilities.

A key asset of our club is its large coaching team and we will continue to support and advise you, whatever level you shoot at. We offer continuing courses to help you improve your archery as well as coach supported shooting sessions if you're just looking for a little bit of advice.
