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

We have now moved outside!

Shooting sessions are at the club's outdoor venue of St Peter's Field at the Oxford Rugby club in North Hinksey on Wednesday and Friday evenings, from 6pm until dusk, and Sunday afternoons from 1pm. Directions to the venue are here, but please be aware that North Hinksey lane (from the McDonalds to the Fishes pub) is currently closed, so access to the field is via the southbound A34. Turn off left at the signs to the Rugby Club.

Thanks to everyone whose hard work made the move and tidy-up on Sunday 1st April go smoothly. Some photos here...

See you at the field!

National Series 2012

Results

Provisional results (subject to checking) are available here.

We hope you had a good weekend!

Many thanks to the judges, our sponsors, our club members, and everybody who helped make this tournament happen!

 
County Field Shoot

Saturday 19th May at Charlbury, hosted by Windrush Archers. £5 entry, 10.30 start. Entry forms here.

 
Committee Meeting

Wednesday May 23rd, 8pm at the rugby club bar.

 
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...

 

Latest News

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.
