Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much is the membership fee.

    Our membership fees are set each year at our AGM and reflect the hire of our ground, affiliation fees to Archery GB, Lancashire, and northern countys and amounts to replace targets, bosses and other equipment

  • Why is there an extra fee for indoor shooting through the winter

    Our yearly membership fees only covers the rental on our outdoor field. When we shoot indoors, we have to hire the venue and have to cover the hire cost by charging each member a small fee. The fee applies to each member per session and there is no reduction for Junior members.

  • When do we shoot

    We shoot all year round, the main Club shoot being on Saturday Mornings  from about 9:30 to 12:30 at our outdoor venue. We also have the opportunity to shoot Monday – Tuesday and Friday mornings throughout the year. During Winter, we also shoot indoors on Friday evenings.

     

     

  • Can I shoot alone at the club?

    Absolutely not. When shooting is taking place a minimum of two people must be present at all times. The second person does not have to be an archer, but must be a responsible ADULT. In the event of only two people shooting one person must always be on lookout

  • Is archery Dangerous.

    Archery can be dangerous. However we shoot to Archery GB rules of shooting, there are simple rules governing the conduct of archers and it is one of the safest sports practiced in the UK today. As a club, we take safety very seriously and strive to maintain our excellent safety record.

  • Do you shoot in bad weather

    If it rains during the outdoor season then it is up to the individuals whether you they wish to continue. If there is lightning, you are advised to stop shooting, similarly, if it is too windy to shoot it is not advisable to continue.
