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.

Shooting Sessions

Indoor sessions are at Cowley Conservative Club, most Sunday evenings from 6 to 9pm (more information on the venue below).

Providing the weather allows it, outdoor shooting at the Rugby Club is still available on Sunday afternoons. Please remember to sign in and out!

We are looking into booking sessions for Wednesday evenings at St Gregory the Great school in Cowley, starting in the New Year, but need to know how much interest among club members there is in extra sessions. To help us make a decision on this and get your voice heard, please fill out the survey here.

National Series 2012

Entry Form here for the eager. Details and online entry/payment options can be found on the menu to the right..
 
Club Indoor Champs

Sunday February 5th (2012) at Cowley Conservative Club, 6.00 pm start (Sighters at 6.30 pm). Portsmouth round, Juniors, Ladies and Gents categories as well as compound, recurve, longbow and barebow. Novices (up to 1 year) are counted seperately. Sign up sheets are at the CCC and in the pavilion or email Holger. Could the winners of last year's trophies please hand them back to Holger by Sunday 29th Januray.
 
County Indoor Champs

Results can be found here. For some strange reason there were much fewer Oxford Archers competing compared to previous years. We got spanked in the juniors, trounced in the traditional/barebow categories and didn't even win the team trophy (which is a bit of a shock). All we managed was a clean sweep of the senior Ladies and Gents recurve and compound. Well, that's alright then...
 
Sunday Frostbite Shoots

They're so much fun and so unpredictable that we are having one a month till April. 1pm outdoors St. Petersfield on Jan 15, Feb 19, March 18.  If you don't know already, a short round (3 dozen arrows) at 30 meters, fun and suitable for all - and with the current temperatures actual frostbite is a very low risk, so come along and get some fresh air! Guest archers from other clubs are very welcome to join in for a small fee.

National Series Comes to Oxford

Oxford Archers are to host Stage 1 of Archery GB's 2012 National Series on 12th and 13th May. Our annual FITA Weekend was brought forward to these dates from August, so as not to clash with the Olympics, and Archery GB have decided that the club should be one of two new venues for this year (the other being Clophill). Archery GB have reduced the Series from five shoots to four, again to work around the Olympic Games, with the Final taking place on the last Sunday in August.

Said organiser Jon Nott: "For obvious reasons, it is impossible to put on five National Series shoots in 2012, and a Grand Final. But we have two new exciting venues, who will make all the archers very welcome, and although we are awaiting final confirmation, we have another new venue for the Grand Final."

This is wonderful news for the club and a recognition of the hard work our members have put in to make our FITA Weekends such a success over the last few years.
