HURSLEY Sports and social ArCHERY CLUB

Archery is a sociable sport which can be enjoyed by all ages, and does not require great physical strength.

If you have ever wanted to try the sport of Archery, take advantage of our trial membership scheme and have a go! Basic tuition and equipment suitable for beginners is available within the club.

Many tournaments are held locally and throughout the country all through the year for archers of all standards, and a national classification scheme provides a measure of progress.


Please note that the Hursley Sports and Social Archery Club is a subsection of the Hursley Sports and Social Club, and membership is restricted to club members and their families. We are unable to offer membership or tuition to non members of the Hursley Sports and Social Club.
