Welcome to Oxford ArchersEst. 1948
Oxford RFC Grounds, North Hinksey, Oxford.
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! 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?
Our Have-A-Go events are ideal for trying archery without the commitment of a Beginner's Course - click on the link for dates of our next open have-a-go events! We can arrange archery parties for birthdays, stag and hen parties, or as corporate events. A Beginner's Course will coach you to the level of competence required to join an archery club. Courses take place regularly throughout the year. Alternatively you can arrange for a Fast Track Beginner's Course for up to 3 people to suit your personal requirements. Our qualified coaches also offer private one-on-one tuition at any level - from complete newcomer up to international standard. Oxford Archers operates a Children and Vulnerable Adults Protection Policy as promoted by the Grand National Archery Society. To view this policy in full, go to the CPP page.
And you are never too old. Have a look at one of our oldest active members in action:

Nichola Simpson took gold in the ladies compound category; Angelina Measures (recurve) and Nigel Parkin (compound) came 4th in their categories and Thilina Abeywickrama (recurve) finished 18th place.

Venimus, vidimus, vicimus! (Or something...)
A good number of Oxford Archers braved the nasty winds in Banbury on Sunday 24 July and turned up in the morning to shoot a York/Hereford championship round or in the afternoon for the National round, and came away with a goodly haul of trophies and medals. Congratulations to the new County Champions and our medal winners! Well done everyone! A special mention should go to Nigel and Carlos, who did well at their first ever tournament! |
Members of Oxford's archery club acquitted themselves rather well at the Berlin Open 2012 in December. Nichola Simpson, Nat Merry, Katharina Baier, Antje Frotscher and Marc Tamlyn from Oxford Archers travelled together with David Timmins and Angelina Measures from the Oxford University Company of Archers to compete against over 500 other archers, international champions and Olympic archers among them.
Antje and Kat, both ranked 35th in their respective divisions, went on to claim 3rd and 6th place in the Second Chance tournament, winning valuable prizes.
