During the outdoor season, every Friday evening from 6pm until 7.30pm the club will run coaching session. Every member is welcome to participate.
As every experienced archer knows, shooting alone will never get you on top of the list.

To all members of the Club.
As already anticipated via email, the Summer Programme is here.
Wednesdays and Fridays club shooting will open at 4pm (if you work, you are welcome to join afterwards) while all Sundays will be club tournaments.
Sunday’s at 10am is always the best time to gather altogether at the club, shoot some arrows, and have a pleasant time on the field. A few words, some stretch of the muscles, and we are ready to focus and train.
The club grew last weekend with 3 new coaches. Angelo, Ged and Richard completed their two months long coaching journey to become official level 1 session coaches.
Tournament preparation. It all starts by knowing you’ll be attending to one.
Thankfully, at Corus our coaches have scheduled an indoor handicap-adjusted league to which all members can attend.
Through this plan, we get to experience the tension of a tournament and the different possible indoor rounds.
This morning we turned up to meet the eye-catching black and white faces lined up and ready to welcome our excellent shooting.
Yes, that’s exactly right, excellent shooting – because each time you show up in front of the target and commit to the training, no matter what the score will be, the result will always be a good one.
Commit to the training,
shoot with intent,
listen to your coach.
The Worcester is a 5-arrows-end round, so a bit different than classic indoor rounds characterized by 3 arrows end.
I personally get a very distant taste of Field Archery there, but that’s about how far I would dare to go in comparing the two.
(Great job there Gerry – Olympic Style Recurve shooting – not any fancy compound one)
My personal bright side in all of this? First Worcester, personal best. Couldn’t be any better.
Our team member, Susan Thompson has shown the club another place where women can achieve more than men. We are proud and delighted to announce she’s officially made it into the Senior Welsh Team and will represent our country at the next Commonwealth Archery Championship Europe (http://welsharcheryassociation.com/).
Susan’s shooting career has been an ever-growing one. She has started not long ago, and after achieving the Bowman Classification last year, she has been constantly improving her scores knocking out those golden targets with persistence.
We’ve asked her some questions, for you to enjoy.
Many thanks to those who helped during the Have-A-Go session on Sunday.
It was a roaring success with great feedback for those that participated.
Here is some feedback:
Many thanks to you and fellow volunteers yesterday. William very much enjoyed the experience of shooting at the targets. Hopefully he may pursue Archery as time goes by, but more probably here in the Wirral. But you all certainly gave him a good taste of it. – Geoff

Thank you so much for a lovely morning, we all really enjoyed it. – Kate
We now have a full Beginners Course as 7 participants signed up on the back of the course and 4 parents have also signed up.
Corus (Deeside) Archery Club has been in Shotton for over 50 years.
We have gone by several names during that time including John Summers and British Steel Archers.
We have been on the current grounds at Rowley’s Drive since it was used as British Steel’s Sports and Social Club, when the company helped sustain the club whilst we didn’t charge membership fees to British Steel employees.
When British Steel was sold to Corus, we became Corus (Deeside). Since then Corus has cut ties with the club but we retain the name until we see the need to change it (and we find a fitting replacement).
We have always supported our archers, some of whom have gone on to tournament winning careers shooting for county and for Wales.
The next beginner’s course will be held at our outdoor venue at the Care and Repair Sports field in Shotton. It will be held on the 31st July and 1st August.
Under the current coronavirus Sars-cov-2 pandemic, safety is most important. To this extent, our government has sought to dedicate a special effort in fighting the spread of the disease.
