Looking for something new you haven’t tried before?
Want to spend more time outdoors (in warmer weather) and increase your activity levels while also topping up your tan*?
Great news – we have the perfect sport for you!!! ARCHERY.
Through mild exercise you can enjoy the outside world (or sports hall) while keeping your distance from others (if you choose, we are also a collection of social friendly oddballs if you want to speak to us).
We are based at Wellingborough Old Grammarians Sports Ground, Sywell road and have our own dedicated accessible shooting range. During the winter season we shoot indoors at Wollaston School, Irchester Road, Wollaston.
We are running beginners courses and provide a safe environment to practice this rewarding and challenging sport. We have all the equipment required for you to take part, just need to visit us with shoes that cover your toes and have the ability to tie-up any loose hair and our ArcheryGB qualified coaches will work their magic transforming you into potential future Olympic stars**.
