The club has a number of AGB qualified coaches who, supported by experienced archers, run beginner courses and "have a go" sessions throughout the year.
Beginners courses are suitable for anyone aged eight upwards and will cover safety, basic shooting, scoring and competition, different types of bow and archery and much more. For more information contact the Club Secretary through the Contact Us page or directly at archersofbingham@gmail.com
Our next course is scheduled to start May 2025.
For the first 40 years of our existence we shot at Bingham Leisure Centre but in 2019, whilst continuing to shoot at the Leisure Centre, we branched out and now also shoot on the Sports Field on Dark Lane in Aslockton/Whatton, where we have level access to the shooting line and to a newly refurbished pavilion. We shoot in Aslockton on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings in the summer and, normally, twice a month on Sunday mornings throughout the winter. At the leisure centre itself we continue to shoot outdoors in the summer on Saturday afternoons and that’s also where we run our twice yearly tournaments.
Both outdoor venues allow for shooting at all competitive distances ~ 10 yards up to 100 yards / 90 metres. Whilst indoors we shoot in the main Hall at the Leisure Centre on Friday evenings which accommodate distances up to 25 metres.
We shoot all year round at Toot Hill Sports Centre and the playing fields in Whatton & Aslockton.
On bank holidays the sports centre may close early or not be open at all. Please check the news to see if shooting times will be affected.
Archers of Bingham is committed to giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy archery in an open and threat free environment. Findou out more on our Safeguarding page.
