Abbey Bowmen St Albans Archery Club is dedicated to promoting the sport of archery in and around St Albans. We welcome archers of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to seasoned professionals. Our club aims to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment where members can develop their archery skills, participate in friendly competitions, and enjoy the camaraderie of other archery enthusiasts.
We offer beginners' courses for those who are new to archery and wish to learn the basics of the sport. These courses are designed to provide a solid foundation in archery techniques, safety protocols, and equipment handling. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the course, ensuring that you feel confident and comfortable with your bow and arrow.
As a member of Abbey Bowmen, you will have access to our range of venues, both indoor and outdoor. Our indoor facilities provide a comfortable space for archers to practise and train regardless of the weather conditions. Our outdoor venues offer a more authentic experience, allowing archers to shoot in natural surroundings and challenge themselves with varying distances and terrain.
In addition to regular shooting sessions, we also organise a range of events and competitions throughout the year. These events provide opportunities for members to test their skills, compete against other archers, and celebrate their achievements. Whether you're interested in target shooting, field archery, or clout shooting, you'll find events tailored to your preferences.
At Abbey Bowmen, we are proud to be members of Archery GB, Southern Counties Archery Association, and Hertfordshire Archery. These affiliations ensure that we maintain high standards of safety, coaching, and competition participation. We adhere to the rules and regulations set by these organisations and promote fair play and sportsmanship at all times.
