Bromyard Bowmen
ARCHERY CLUB
Archery truly is a sport for all and with members ranging from 8 to 80, Bromyard Bowmen is pleased to offer men, women and children the opportunity to enjoy this traditional sport, including disabled archers who shoot on equal terms with the able-bodied.
We are affiliated to Archery GB and follow recognised procedures and disciplines. Any coaching required is carried out by qualified coaches.
Club Facilities
We shoot at The Clive Richards Sports Ground on the Tenbury Road out of Bromyard.
Sharing the site with Bromyard Rugby Club and Bromyard Bowls Club, our Clubhouse sits slightly behind the Rugby Clubhouse.
Postcode HR7 4LP – your SatNav might try to take you 250m past the sports ground to a turning on the left (Wicton Lane) so please keep a look out for the Rugby posts on your right as you are coming out of Bromyard on the B4214.
Shooting Times
Club sessions take place on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Indoor shooting is available all year round with outdoor shooting available from May until August.

Archery and Bow Stlyes
The predominant form of archery practised is target archery where a set number of arrows are shot at targets over distances of up to 100 yards for men and 80 yards for women. Juniors have their own shorter distances, depending on age. More information on the type of rounds shot can be found here.
Most bow styles are catered for with members shooting Olympic-style Recurve, Compound, Longbow and Barebow. You can see more on this topic here.
