Harrogate Archery Club
We are a friendly club primarily involved in
Clout and Target Shooting with Archers of all ages and abilities,
shooting traditional Longbow and the more modern Recurve and Compound
bows. We welcome all archers be they beginners or long established and
encourage them to enjoy their shooting whether their interest is in
socialising, fun or competition.
The Club was formed in 1968 in response to a
request from the members of the Sports and Social Club of the St.
George's Home for the physically handicapped. The original membership
of the Club was primarily disabled with some able bodied helpers. None
of the founder members were involved in, or knew a great deal about
archery. However, to their credit they worked hard at educating
themselves and their new members, and within a short period of time,
from a scratch start the club had qualified coaches and instructors.
During the Club's existence its members have
represented both county and country. Shooting originally took place at
the St. George's Home until just before its closure when the club moved
to our present ground at St. John Fisher School. It is here, each year
we hold our open shoots, this year shooting an Open Western
Round in June followed in August with an Open Single and Double Clout. We
have on occasions hosted other Clout events such as the Northern
Counties Archery Society (N.C.A.S)
and the Grand National Archery Society (G.N.A.S.)
National Championships.
