Welcome to Oxford Archers

Est. 1948
Oxford RFC Grounds, North Hinksey, Oxford.


clubchamps081An open and friendly club, Oxford Archers has been welcoming archers of all levels and all bowstyles for sixty years.

We are dedicated to maintaining a supportive atmosphere in which all can develop to their full potential, and are proud to be home to a number of nationally and internationally competitive archers.

As well as being somewhere to practice and improve, Oxford Archers is also a club in the true sense of the word. We hold regular socials, fun shoots and archery related days out - look for us in the pictures from the Dover World Cup! All members are encouraged to lend a helping hand and have their say in the running of the club.

So whether you're after a gold medal or a bit of fun, Oxford Archers is the club for you!

Do You Want To Shoot?

There are several ways we can introduce you to the sport of archery. Have-A-Go events are ideal for trying archery without the commitment of a Beginner's Course. We can arrange corporate events and archery parties for birthdays, hen days and the like. A Beginner's Course will coach you to a level of competence required to join an archery club. Our qualified coaches offer private, one-on-one tuition at any level - from complete newcomer up to international standard. See the bottom of this page for more details.

 
And you are never too old. Have a look at one of our oldest active members in action:

Indoor Postal League

The Club has entered three teams in this season's BA Postal League - two compound (2 archers per team) and 1 recurve (5 archers per team). Team members are simply the archers with the highest scores on the night.

All archers are eligible to participate, and encouraged to do so, regardless of ability. In fact, the more the merrier, as you never know when your score might prove crucial. (Hard to believe, but the compound team were short one score in November. As good as Nichola is, a 593 on it's own didn't help much in our first season in the top division)

It is a Portsmouth round with compound archers shooting at a 3 spot target. On the appointed date an archer shoots a round and records the score on the appropriate score sheet.
You can shoot as many sighters as you like but once you start scoring all arrows count.

If an ‘official' score sheet is not available from the notice board any alternative sheet can be used but please ensure you write on it ‘Postal shoot'.
