Indoor Archery

Indoor archery is a variation of target archery. Traditionally shot in the winter months when weather makes outdoor shooting harder. We shoot both Indoor and Outdoor Target all year round. Indoor Archery is shot over 18m at smaller Targets. It's also suitable for all types of bow.

Field Archery

In Field Archery, Archers shoot at target bales with either animal or round field faces on them. Unlike Target Ranges where the terrain is flat and level, the Field Targets are set in an undulating natural environment that adds difficulty to the shot.   All types of bow can be used.

Learn To Shoot

The Club runs beginner courses on selected Wednesday evenings  throughout the year and Saturday Mornings in summer.

 

These classes consist of four lessons. They are intended to introduce the beginner to the safe and correct use of target archery equipment and teach you correct technique. We also explain the purpose of all the equipment.


All archery equipment is provided, and courses are run by the club's Archery New Zealand Qualified coaches.

​

Courses are by arrangement.
