At Hull Archery Club, we are more than just a group of archers. We are a community of friends who share a passion for the sport and support each other in our goals. Whether you want to improve your skills, compete in tournaments, or just have fun, you will find a welcoming and friendly environment at our club. You don’t even have to shoot every week to join us - you can simply enjoy the company of like-minded people and socialise with our members. Hull Archery Club is the place where archery and friendship go hand in hand.
If you can no longer attend the club, simply let us know and cancel your standing order.
Don't worry about buying your own equipment when you can make use of ours for just £2.00 per night.
Don't think that after 4 weeks training is over. Our members benefit from ongoing tuition.
Hull Archery Club is an indoor archery club based in Hull, East Yorkshire, that currently shoots on Friday evenings 18:50-21:10 at the Walton Street Leisure Centre, at the bottom of Goathland Close, Walton Street (Click Here For Map).
We shoot in a large indoor sports hall, with six distant targets which can be moved closer for disabled, training, and archers who would struggle with limited body strength.
The club is a friendly family-orientated club for anyone aged 14+ (under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian). We have a lot of members who just use the club as a social evening, and as a chance to have a night out with friends, as we bring people together with common interests, who they might not have met otherwise.
The Archery club in its own right has been running since 1985 in one form or another, at various locations around the city, including Eastmount School on Longhill estate. Back then it was a dedicated club for disabled members.
We predominantly shoot recurve bows, either with sites or barebow. We always have an Archery GB trained coach to assist our current members, and to train people who are new to archery. We will accept members who have compound bows, but we can not teach this, so members must have their own bow. Compound bows must be restricted to 30lb maximum in the club as at our maximum distance, these bows are so accurate they destroy the targets. Compound bows will periodically be tested, and if it's above the maximum you will be asked to turn it down to meet the club's requirements. We do not allow crossbows.
What our members have said about the club.
Walking into the club for the first time was quite daunting as I wasn’t to sure what to expect. Been female and walking in to seeing the majority of the club were male was also a bit daunting however once I got started and into it that feeling soon went. Everyone is friendly and welcoming and I couldn’t imagine a better group of people to shoot with! I’m so glad I started and never looked back, it’s like my very own archery family now and I love it!
Being a bloke in my late 30’s, the thought of walking into an established club and asking for help, seemed pretty daunting. However I can say that the helpful friendly nature of the club soon had me hooked. Learned how to use a variety of bow styles. A great source of ideas and information, very friendly.
With guidance from qualified instructor Mark, I managed to hit the target for beginners. Over the next two hours I improved.
He noticed my weakness in my left shoulder and offered advice. Eventually I hit the bull!
This is something that requires skill patience and time to get right. With advice from the instructors I improved over the night and have signed up for a 6 week training course.
It was an excellent night and 5 days later I’m itching to have another go!.
At the end of the night I left with a happy child, a small ache in my arm and looking forward to coming back the next week.
