Club Tournaments

Club Tournaments are a great way to introduce new archers to competition formats – plus, they’re a lot of fun!

These events are run as closely as possible to official tournaments, providing newer members with valuable experience in a supportive and friendly environment.

There are no extra fees to participate – just normal target fees.

Scoring at a target on paper and PDA

If you prefer not to take part in the tournament, you’re still welcome to shoot as usual. However, please note that the session timing will follow the tournament schedule.

Whilst Archery GB set minimum distances for certain age groups, for club tournaments, club members are invited to shoot whichever round/distance they feel comfortable with.
