WATERSIDE ARCHERS

Who are we?

Formed in 1981, our club is around 100 members strong, comprising Adults and Juniors, ranging from beginners to leisure hobbyist, through to Tournament level archers - attending events that include National and International competitions.

Our members enjoy a mixture of bow styles and disciplines including Recurve and Compound. We also have a growing number of members keeping old traditions alive, who can be seen regularly shooting the Longbow, Flatbow and a variety of other East European/Asian designs.

We shoot at two locations in Hampshire on the edge of the New Forest:

• Outdoor range, near Exbury Gardens - a spectacular 200-acre woodland garden, famous for the Rothschild Collection of Plants.


• Indoor range, at Hounsdown School - used during the winter season to shoot bespoke indoor rounds.

With this amount of diversity, there really is something for everyone to have a look at or try out.

Do you own any unused Archery equipment...Willing to donate?

Whether gathering dust, propping up a wall, shoved under the bed...?
If it is of serviceable quality then please drop us a line. It will be put to good use by the club and could assist the development of our beginners.
