i've been out of the archery loop for a while, but there are quite a few field archery clubs (many of which have 3ds) in Wiltshie/Dorset/Somerset. The first that comes to mind is Ballands Bowmen near Wincanton

Look up the NFAS and EFAA, they will have lists of clubs in the area ;)


As for achery related laws, pretty common sense. No bows are prohibited, though some clubs don't allow cross bows at their ranges. There are upper limits of arrow speed for competition ( i think last time I shot it was 350m/s or something), but normally only the top end tuned compounds get there anyway. Boradheads are generally frowned on and not sold here as bowhunting is illegal.
