Founded
in 1999 by three family members and a friend, the club was set up to make
archery a safe, but enjoyable experience in South Leeds.
Our first rule is that all members must enjoy their archery!
We have
steadily grown to over 50 members and hopefully that number will
continue to rise as we strive to hold on to our founding values. We
are 'family friendly' with several of our members being a mum or dad
with son and/or daughter -even granddads with grandsons- there are
not too many sports which offer this possibility.
We do not mind
if people learn to shoot with us and then wish to move on to a club
with a 'more competetive outlook' as long as we draw people into
the sport of archery we feel that we are doing a good job. Having said that, we do have members who shoot consistently at an exceptionally high standard - but we tolerate them :o)

heard on the shooting line.
