Archery Technique Drills Videos

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.

Indoor Programme 2022/2023

As per every shooting season, here is the scheduled programme for this winter. We’ll be shooting indoor (and partly outdoors) until the end of March 2023.

We have chosen to align our club’s tournaments to the Welsh Archery Association winter postal league so every round scored by our members, will be a common participation in the Welsh country picture (you can always choose to not participate in the winter league if you wish, just letting us know).

Another Level 2 Coach

It took a while, but through the slowness of the bureaucratic machine of ArcheryGB, we can finally cheer the official reinstatement one of our best coaches.
With the experience of (nearly) an entire lifetime in archery, and an extensive knowledge well recognized by olympic archers, we are very proud to congratulate with

Patrick Beckett,

who is now a Level 2 Development Coach. The constant activity and support that Patrick put every day in our club, to support archers develop their form and skill, and by encouraging novices with excellent observations, has been officially recognized by ArcheryGB and the old qualification once achieved and held, officially reactivated.

Well done Patrick.

The magic is coming back this year, on the 30th of October with the Witches & Warlocks Open Shoot. Registration form at the bottom with entry fees of 8£ to 6£.

The game, is a fun moment to enjoy altogether a small tournament in special conditions. While the round will present a no efforts challenge to all experienced archers, it will be an opportunity for all clubs and families to get themselves a bit more familiar to the practice of tournaments.

Why to attend?

  1. it’s fun
  2. it’s cheap tournament practice (you can focus on the fun, but at the same time, you’ll familiarize with proper tournament conditions and boost your confidence)
  3. your official scores won’t be affected (it’s a minor shoot, get your a..rms over here)
  4. it’s excellent for junior and novices practices
  5. there’s Special Titles to win (see the awards)
