The club will provide you with all the necessary archery equipment for all of our courses 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 archers from buying equipment until they have completed our beginners' course, you need to have some experience before you can properly select the best equipment to suit your shooting style.

Our 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.
