North East Wales Archery Club
We have a beginners course over the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd June 2024.
This will be a 9 hours split over the Saturday and Sunday mornings 9:30am – 2pm. A maximum of 12 beginners will be accommodated.
This will be held indoors at the Shotton Scout hut to ensure the weather doesn’t soak us.
All equipment will be provided and tea/coffee making facilities are available.
Please register for the course here.
On the 24th, the football groups at Care and Repair NEW sports field will be holding a community taster session and we have joined in to provide an archery taster session.
The session will be from 1pm to 4pm, and participants will get 3×4 arrows under the instruction of an experienced archer. If there are no queues then additional sets will be available at £5 for 12 arrows (subject to change).
Due to equipment restrictions we cannot accommodate juniors under the age of 10 years old.
We are pleased to finally announce the Corus Indoor Tournament on the 18th February 2024.
This also combines the North Wales Indoor championships.

Through ArcheryGB you can get all the information you need to become a great archer. The foundation of a good form is very simple: good bone on bone alignment. The technique has evolved and refined over the years and teaching is simpler and more effective.
Drills and skills are the very essential framework that any (qualified) coach can teach you through. If you want to improve your technique, no matter what style you might be shooting, these are the real foundation of good form.
Question: I want to go on a beginners course, but I do not have any equipment!
Answer: That fine, we provide all the equipment to enable you to shoot safely during the beginners course.
Whilst on the course we will advise you on the best equipment to suit your pocket and style and when to buy.
Please do not purchase any equipment upfront as it may be unsuitable.
On the day of the course please bring a light rainproof jacket and wear a close fitting top, as the bowstring can catch on baggy tops. Also open-toed sandals are not permitted on any archery field.
If you have long hair, it is advisable to secure it, so that it doesn’t catch on the bowstring.
To take the beginners course you only need to pay once for the entire course, which covers the provision of the venue, coaches and hire of the equipment for the entire course.
The fees are as follows:
If you attend one of our Have-A-Go sessions (£10 per person for an hours individually coached shooting) and sign up for a beginners course then the £10 fee will be deducted from your beginners course fees.
To join the club as a member, additional fee’s are required on an annual basis.
This year we will again be participating in the ArcheryGB Start Archery Week. This is when clubs thoughout the UK open their doors to members of the public who are interested in taking up the sport.
We will be running Have-a-go sessions of 20 minutes of archery for £5 on the 14th May. Please contact us at corusclub@outlook.com to book a slot.
If you can’t attend a session with us on the 14th, there are other clubs also running sessions, follow this link to find a local club.

SPOILER: Results and photos at the end of the article.
What a great gorgeous glossy 3 sessions Portsmouth we had today.
Archers of all kind attended the cozy venue down at the Coleg Cambria in Connah’s Quay: good archers, great archers, fantastic archers and their patient ravishing spectators.
Being a coach, means dedicating time to others. But like shooting, if you have that passion, it can be very rewarding. Becoming a Development Coach, means you have learned how to adapt coaching to tailor more effective and engaging sessions.
