Crowthorne Archers invites people of
all ages to try archery and enjoy the sport. Archery is particularly suited for
whole family participation and we provide properly qualified and insured
instruction together with all the equipment necessary to start. The basics of
the sport are easy to learn, with no significant physical requirements, only a
responsible attitude. Many of our archers shoot purely for recreation, but others have worked hard at their shooting and have been very successful in competition. 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 titles. One represented Great Britain in 2004 and another in 1996.
Members pay an annual fee which covers Club membership, target fees for the year, insurance and affiliation to the Grand National Archery Society, along with affiliations to county and regional organisations. The club provides outdoor shooting on our ground every Sunday, with additional evenings each Wednesday and Friday throughout the summer. These are free to members but occasionally we hire a larger field for clout shoots and the cost for this is divided between members taking part. In the winter, the club hires facilities in a local sports centre on Saturday afternoons. This is charged for separately and is additional to club membership fees.
