Field archery - Leeds/Bradford/Harrogate area

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Very interested in this thread but as Harrogate is a fair ride for me , is there anywhere near Bury/ Bolton / Manchester where i could try this out

There's loads out your way, a proper little hotbed of field archery. Before I headed off to the colonies I used to hit the opens out your way most weekends. Derwynd, Olde Delph, Foxhill, Oakleaf, Hollywood, South Cheshire, Owlet, Sabden fold off the top of my head.

Riggwelters is/was my club and needs some fresh blood & the right kind of blood otherwise we could easily draw a line under....... or worse, recruit from GNAS and thats unthinkable! Great little club and a great little escape with predominantly excellent folks there and field archery is the business!
 
Just a quick bump to say I haven't forgotten about this - sorting out training space and backstops, and the process/procedure to comply with NFAS beginner regs.

Will update once we've got a bit further.
 
Hopefully I've PM'd everyone who expressed an interest with details of the upcoming have a go. If I failed to contact anyone, or there's anyone else in the area who'd like to come along and try field archery in a couple of weeks time, please PM
 
Could you send me the details again please mate, i think they have got lost when i had to clear out my inbox
 
Big thanks to MrHare, excellent teacher and guide. Had a great time today shooting all those animals, even got a kamodo dragon but missed the bear.

My arms and shoulders are feeling it a bit now but we'll worth it.

Think this could become a new hobby :)

If there are any places left Mr Hare, I'd be interested. I have shot target archery once and also field archery once. I don't have any of my own kit though - yet :)

I also live just over the hill in Haworth...
