The Foxes Archery Club in Leicester, UK, is run by Chris, who’s got a real knack for bringing archers together. Located at Farnham Bridge Farm in Rothley, it’s all about target archery here. With year-round access to the fields, you can get your shoot on Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings from April to the end of September.
When it gets a bit chilly, Chris moves the fun indoors to Winstanley College, just off Hinckley Road. These indoor sessions run from 9:30 am to 11:30 am on Saturdays, from the end of September to the end of March. All skill levels are welcome, so whether you're a newbie or a seasoned pro, you'll fit right in. Some members even compete in county matches!
The Foxes Archery Club isn’t just about serious shoots; they host a ton of events, like fun shoots and “try archery” sessions for groups or corporate events. They’ve got beginner's courses too, perfect for anyone looking to pick up a bow for the first time. Novices are met with a warm, supportive vibe.
Membership is a breeze—anyone aged 8 and up can join. Here’s the lowdown on fees: Adults pay £110 a year, juniors £55.50, concessions £87, associates £29, and social members just £5.80. Juniors need a parent or guardian to sign up as either a full member or a non-shooting associate. Best part? No extra target fees, and your membership covers winter indoor shooting.
If you’re already with Archery GB, you can drop by the regular sessions with a small target fee. Chris keeps everyone up-to-date with the latest happenings and relevant links to top sporting organisations like World Archery and Archery GB right on their website.
