A target archery club in Northumberland's mid-Tyne valley
Beginners Welcome!
We are a target archery club for archers from the age of 14 years, welcoming newcomers from Newcastle, Gateshead, Prudhoe, Stocksfield, Newburn, Corbridge, Hexham, Blaydon and surrounding areas. If you're new to archery, you may care to try a taster session or sign up for a beginners course.
The club uses recurve bows and the more traditional longbow. On-going help and assistance is available and we encourage each club member to progress to their individual goals, whether this is by social shooting at the club or attending competitions.

The club has resumed shooting following the government's announcement that outdoor sports facilities are allowed to open. Read Archery GB's guidance for archers, coaches and clubs.
We are now able to host 'Open days' at our regular Ovingham venue, on the first Sunday of the month during the summer. Drop in between 1:00pm and 3:00pm to Have-a-Go at archery.
Suitable for all ages if accompanied by an adult. Small charge, cash only, to cover club equipment and materials only. The next of these Open Days is Sunday 1st August. If you can’t make it then, see the calendar below for alternatives.
A fun introduction to the sport of Archery. A one hour session designed for those with no previous experience and suited to those aged 12+

Why not to treat a friend or loved one to a new experience if you’re stuck for ideas at Christmas/birthdays? Suitable for those who may like to try archery at one of our Taster Sessions. If you have a specific requirement, please contact us and we will be pleased to help
