Field Archery
 
We now have new woods for use as our Field Archery venue.

This site is much larger than the previous venue, enabling the club to lay out a much larger and a more varied Field Course. Again, these woods are ideal to introduce our newer members to the discipline and safety awareness that is necessary when attending Field Shoots.
The new woods are available for use by club members, mostly at the weekends, but they may also be used at other times, by arrangement with our club Field Officer

For some years now, we have been fortunate to be able to host our Brixham Archers Annual Field Shoot at another estate near Kingswear, between Brixham and Dartmouth. We are deeply indebted to and appreciate the help of the land owners.

This estate is large enough to cope with a variety of different courses, which gives our experienced course layers wide scope to plan both safe and challenging courses.
Our annual open field shoot is held in the latter part of February and is arranged to comply with the rules of the National Field Archery Society.

Brixham Archers have previously been involved with the “Devon Challenge”- eight consecutive days of field archery held in the August of each year. Four different clubs each host two days of this very popular event.

The club was also involved in laying out one of the courses for the 2003 NFAS National Field Championships. This event attracts about six hundred archers from all over the country.

Due to the large size of this event, several clubs work together to organise it.
