Newbury and Thatcham Archers

Newbury and Thatcham Archers

Newbury and Thatcham Archers welcomes archers of all abilities and skill levels.

They are an informal club and practice several types of archery, namely target, field and clout.

Their members use several different bow styles, including recurve, barebow, compound, long-bow and flat bow.

Their main archery field is based near the centre of Newbury, West Berkshire.

They also have two field archery venues.

One near Newbury and the other in Thatcham.

Their field archery venues are set up in a couple of local woodlands.

Archers shoot up to three arrows at different targets in sequence.

The targets are set up amongst the trees and you might have to shoot uphill or downhill and across ravines.

The targets are different sizes and are set up at different, unmarked distances.

At their venues the targets have pictures of animals with different scoring rings.

Field archery is a great way of keeping fit and enjoying the outdoors.
