We shoot at our own ground in Wollaton Park. We can cater for all bowtypes and standards from beginner through to major competition archers.

The winter season is upon us!
Outdoor archery has many benefits towards our well-being... but what about indoor archery?
Indoor archery was designed to help archers shoot target archery indoors during the colder months. Clubs usually practice indoor archery when weather conditions would make it difficult for them to shoot outdoors. 🌧❄️
Archers would shoot at short distances (varied upon rounds) with smaller target faces (60cm/40cm).
Here are the benefits and skills of shooting indoor archery:
Improves Concentration - By tuning out your surroundings and focusing on your form whilst releasing the bowstring time after time, indoor archery can aid you in coping with high levels of pressure within your daily activities.
Building Confidence - As you are shooting against other archers, it helps to boost self-esteem by working on technique and accuracy.
Promoting Determination - The saying "hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard" by Ella Gibson demonstrates that if at first you do not succeed, try again.
Patience and Perseverance - For some, archery may be easy to learn but difficult to master; the process comes first and the results come after. The action of repeating a shot precisely can make you a better archer and subsequently... a better person!

Hello everyone,
The Wilford Bowmen are back in action!
Today, we are hosting a Have a Go session at the Wollaton Park for members of the public to try out archery and join in. 🏹
The first club shoot on a long time…
27 shooters plus guests
Due to the current situation with the coronavirus, the club is closed to non members.
We were hopeful that we could resume beginner courses and taster session. Following guidance for the governing body for archery, the decision has been made to suspend beginner courses and taster session until early 2021.
