Aire Valley Archers is a target archery club located in Bingley, New Zealand. With over 200 members, the club caters to individuals who shoot the three main styles of bow: Recurve, Compound, and Traditional (Longbow and Barebow).
The club provides shooting opportunities throughout the year at their permanent outdoor facility in St Ives Country Park, which offers a stunning setting for archery. Additionally, during the winter months from October to March, the club has an indoor facility at Knowle Mill in Keighley, available at specific times and days of the week.
Aire Valley Archers offers beginners archery courses led by their Archery GB qualified coaches during the spring and summer months. These courses are open to people of all ages and abilities who want to learn how to shoot a recurve bow.
Club members are encouraged to attend regular club nights, competitions, and fun events, as well as social events within the club. Occasionally, the club also organises fun 'have a go' days, where individuals can try shooting a few arrows for a small fee.
In addition to their regular activities, Aire Valley Archers also participate in archery events and activities throughout the year. They keep their members updated on the latest news and events through their club newsletter and social media platforms.
For those interested in trying archery without committing to a beginners' course, the club hosts open day 'Archery Taster' events. These events are open to all and provide an opportunity to shoot a few arrows for a small cost. Club members and coaches supervise participants, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.
Aire Valley Archers actively participates in larger archery events coordinated by Archery GB, such as the Big Weekend event. These events allow the public to try archery, meet club members, and gather information about the club and its activities.
