  • Goshawk Archers is a relatively new club, located in Warrington, Cheshire, between junction 10 and 11 of the M56. The wood is very pretty especially during the summer, due to there being an abundance of rhododendron trees it is green all of the year. It is dry underfoot this is due to several small drainage ponds around the wood; it has no steep slopes and can be negotiated comfortably by those of us with walking difficulties.
    The wood is available for practice 7 days of the week to members, with the only restriction being no smoking. Every style of archery is encouraged. Off road parking is available to members and for shoot days negotiations are under way to secure off road parking. It is hoped to increase the membership, any enquires; details on club page.
    As our first shoot is on 20th July and we are very small in number, there will be no catering, but there will be soft drinks, bottled water and some snacks available.

  • South West Challenge 2008 - there are still places left but they are being taken up quite quickly. The information and entry form are in the members area or you can contact Tim Pattemore (details under Pendagon Bowmen).

  • High Cross is a new NFAS club located close to Cheltenham in Gloucestershire with easy access to the M5 and M4. The site is a terrific one, it is scrubby and has a convoluted terrain which will provide some very interesting and challenging shots. The site is sheltered from prevailing south westerlies and parts are boggy in wet weather but dry well as the underlying strata are Cotswold limestone. Sheep are grazed by the landowners who request no dogs to run on the site. As the club is as yet very small we are only able to manage a 2 x 20 2D round this time. We have plans to expand and provide 36 or 40 target rounds in the future. When funds permit, 3D targets could be added. The site is also set up to run in parallel with a 24 butt GNAS round utilising different positioning as organised by Deer Park Archers, to whom High Cross is related. The site may be used informally by NFAS members by booking this directly with the owners Mr & Mrs Mathew Hobbs, whose contact details may be obtained via the links on the NFAS website to High Cross. When used informally, no faces will be on the butts which have sprayed on circles. We are looking forward to our first shoot which we ask you to pre pay and book on this occasion in order to help judge the likely response and we hope you greatly enjoy experiencing this new resource which fills a geographical gap in NFAS clubs.

  • Broadland Bowmen's spring shoot for the 18th of May has been cancelled due to work being done by the loggers in the wood,sorry to anyone who has already booked in,because the loggers cannot give us a specific time for the work to be completed we thought it best to cancel this one shoot.
