Welcome
Welcome to the website for the Herefordshire Archery Association. We are home to three Archery GB affiliated archery clubs which you can read more about on the archery clubs in herefordshire page.
Getting into Archery
If you are looking to get into archery, you will first need to go on a beginners course. Two of our clubs run these courses regularly throughout the year.
Upcoming Beginners Courses
Bromyard Bowmen and Ledbury Archery Club hold beginners courses regularly throughout the year. The next course is to be held by Bromyard Bowmen over three consecutive Saturday mornings, 26th October, 2nd and 9th November 2019 (you must attend all three sessions). You can download an application form from the Entry Forms page here or for more information, please visit Bromyard Bowmens website here.
Our beginners course page gives you a more detailed explanation of what to expect to cover on a course including bow types, shooting a recurve bow and archery safety. Successfully completing a beginners course will allow you to join any Archery GB affiliated club in the country.
Equipment
As a beginner, we urge you not to go and buy any archery equipment at this stage. The good news is that on a beginners course all necessary equipment is provided for you.
On joining a club, equipment is usually available to hire for a small fee. This allows you to practice your archery technique and develop your archery muscles. Your club coach will advise you on what equipment you might want to think about buying when you are ready.
