Please read the section on Beginner's Courses and Memberships before purchasing a membership! 

The club welcomes archers of all abilities, whether you have never touched a bow before, or are a competitive archer looking to compete in BUCS, we can help you develop your skills during our sessions. Whilst many members take up archery as a recreational sport, we also compete at BUCS and inter-university regional competitions (SWWU). Both have categories based on experience level, so it’s the perfect opportunity to try competing for the first time.

Our sessions on campus are indoors only, however, if you are looking to shoot outdoors, many of our members also use our local club's outdoor range to practice longer distances.

Outside of practice we also organise regular social events and often spend evenings in the Student's Union after sessions.

HAVE A GO OCTOBER 2024: 

Come along and try out archery at our free taster sessions! No previous experience is required and no need to sign up, just show up on the dates below within the given timeslot:

Sunday 29th September:    09:30-11:00
Tuesday 1st October:         16:30-18:00

If you have any questions about previous archery experience and the need to do the beginners course please drop us a message.

BEGINNER'S COURSE: 

For people wishing to join the sport for the first time, you will need to attend one of our beginners' courses before purchasing a membership. These normally run in October and January. You do not need a club membership for the duration of the course but will need to have paid the beginners' course fee.

You can sign up for either a Tuesday OR Sunday beginner's course. These courses will run from their start date for 4 consecutive weeks on the specified day of the week. You cannot mix and match Tuesdays / Sundays sessions on the course. Please stick to the day you purchased a ticket for. You must turn up to all sessions to pass the course.

Beginner's Course Dates Autumn 2024:

Each course is running for 4 weeks straight for the dates below. Remember to turn up only to your designated day of the week attending every session.

Tuesday Course: 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th of October:    16:00-18:00

Sunday Course: 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th of October:       09:00-11:00

How to sign up for the Beginner's Course:

When a beginner's course is available, you will see a Beginner's Course ticket for sale under 'Memberships'. After which, simply turn up to your designated sessions and we will sign you in. Anyone who attends that has not purchased the course will not be able to take part.

If you change your mind or find yourself unable to attend the course, please email the SU to request a refund before the beginning of the course so that we can offer the space to another student.

IMPORTANT: You are required to attend all sessions in order to successfully complete this course.

On successful completion of this course, you will be invited to fill in your personal details to receive an ArcheryGB membership, which can then be used to purchase a full membership to the club.

MEMBERSHIPS 
 

• Archery membership – With equipment – £40: This membership is for anyone who would like to use club equipment for the year.
• Archery membership – Personal Equipment– £30: This membership is for anyone who has their own equipment and does not need to borrow club equipment.

More information about the above memberships will become available when the club restarts in the next academic year.

*Both of these memberships require an ArcheryGB membership number to be purchased. If you have never held an account with ArcheryGB before, please do not make your own account as this will delay your affiliation to UWE. The club will create an account for you once you have been assessed/passed the beginners course.*

If you are an experienced archer but do not have an ArcheryGB number, please email our committee at uwearchery@gmail.com to discuss attending an evaluation with our coach before purchasing a membership.

PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to provide Alumni members with an ArcheryGB membership as they do not count as university students.
