We are a friendly and welcoming club based just a few minutes from junction 5 of the M27 near Southampton in Hampshire. We are the largest archery club in the country and have both indoor and outdoor shooting facilities which are available every day of the year. We have a wide variety of members, from archers that have been shooting for over 50 years to juniors of just 10 years old and from county & national standard to beginners just starting out in the sport. We shoot a number of different types of archery including target, clout & wand, using a range of equipment including recurve bows, compound bows & longbows - all are welcome.
Archery is a sport that almost everybody can take part in and enjoy. Whether you are competitive and wish to progress to the top level of competition or you just want to enjoy a relaxing few hours with good company, Southampton Archery Club can help you achieve your aim!
If you are interested in trying archery then why not enroll on one of our beginners courses, open to everybody over the age of 10. Courses run most months of the year on four consecutive Saturday mornings, full equipment hire is included and you will learn the basic skills from our team of qualified coaches. Further details are available on our beginner courses page.
Following membership changes introduced for 2024/2025 by Archery GB we have received numerous enquiries about our affiliation to Archery GB. A statement summarising our position and how the club is restructuring from 1st October 2024 is available here.
