We are a medium sized club with a membership of about eighty (Junior & Senior). While many of our members take part in competitions, our main aim is to have fun and enjoy our shooting. As well as target shooting, we shoot clout and have a small field course in a nearby wood.
In addition to GNAS target competitions we orgaise 6 GNAS field and 2 BLBS longbow shoots per year. Members also attend NFAS field shoots and BLBS clout, target and roving marks. Clout shooting is becomming more popular within the club and this year members have attended clout shoots as far afield as Penrith, South Wales and Somerset.
The club is now shooting at our own field near Withington. Club practice night during the Summer months (April - September) is on Wednesday evening but members have 7 day access to the shooting ground and can shoot at any other time provided basic safety precautions are followed. Indoor shooting during the winter months (October to March) is at Sundorne School, Shrewsbury on Monday and Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 pm. Novices are encouraged to shoot on Monday evenings leaving Thursdays free for more experienced archers. No coaching is available on Thursdays as that is the only time the coaches get to shoot. Maps showing the location of the clubs shooting venues can be found in the links section.
Beginners courses are run throughout the summer months (May - August) whenever there enough people interested. We have a minimum age of 9 for safety reasons. The cost is £20 adult and £10 Junior (uner 18). Contact Veronica Hilton (01952 770794) or email bowbrook-archers@supanet.com.
