4N E W P L A C E S F O R TA R G E T FA C E SARCHERY GBIntroduction to ArcheryAs seen at the Olympics and Paralympics, target archery is the most popular formof the sport and involves shooting at stationary circular targets at varying distances,practised indoors and outdoors.Archery in the UKArchery in non-club environmentsLike many sports, archery in the UK is based around clubs,counties and regions, with each playing a part in thedevelopment of archers. Clubs provide beginners with courses,and many run their own competitions. The county and regionalassociations run championships and provide routes forprogression through coaching and squads.While clubs fulfil an important role in the provision of archery,the formal nature and perception of the traditional clubenvironment can be less flexible or may not appeal.As the national governing body for archery we providethe infrastructure including a membership services team,development support for clubs and archers and we deliver elitesquads and teams to European and World championships andthe Olympic and Paralympics.There is a significant demand to participate in archery. SportEngland’s Active People Survey (APS 7, 2013) shows that thereare 75,000 adults who do archery once a month, and 36,300adults who do archery once a week. A further 90,700 people wereidentified as being interested in participating in archery.Through informal consultation with commercial and leisureorganisations we estimate that over 750,000 peopleexperience archery every year. Leisure centres and othercommunity venues are seen as important drivers in the futuregrowth of archery.StepNew to Archery?

10N E W P L A C E S F O R TA R G E T FA C E SARCHERY GBEquipmentAlthough regular archers often buy their own equipment, as the activity provider youwould need to offer new participants the chance to borrow equipment. You wouldalso need to provide communal equipment like target faces.Purchasing EquipmentStorageIf you decide to buy your own equipment you would needto source this from one of the many providers around thecountry. Those that have made a self-declaration to supportarchery development are detailed on our website – visit www.archerygb.org for more information.For most venues, the archery equipment will need to be set upand taken down for each session. This is standard practice andeasy to do once a routine has been established.Quality, Usage & MaintenanceAdditional items can be purchased such as metal detectors(to find arrows in the grass if sessions will be conductedoutdoors) and maintenance equipment including fletching jigs,fletches and glue as the programme develops.If you are setting up public sessions you will want to ensureyou purchase durable equipment which can withstand highlevels of usage.It is worth considering that some equipment will beconsumable and you will need to plan for the replacement ofcertain items such as bow strings and target faces.If you would like further advice before purchasing equipment,please contact us and we will be happy to help.Bosses, or targets, are usually made from straw. These bossescan be cumbersome and messy. If using straw bosses, theyshould be stored vertically, rather than flat. The storage unitshould be dry and vermin free. Straw bosses can get wet butwill last longer if allowed to dry out.More practical and space saving options are available. Somesynthetic bosses are made of a series of interlocking parts,which are reversible and then replaceable, when the needarises. These bosses can be stored neatly, take up less spaceand do not leave a mess.For safety reasons, bows and arrows should be storedseparately from the targets. Typically arrows are stored in alocked container within a storage unit, especially if the storageunit or store cupboard is in use for other sports equipment.An example of what you will need for 10-12 people is described here:Archery retailers can provide all theequipment that you will require. Abasic kit costs approximately 1,000.9 x Bows (6 RH, 3 LH)24 Arrows3 x Targets3 x Targets Stands (plus Pegs and guy ropes for securingthe target stands and bosses – outside only) 24 x Target faces 24 x Target Pins 8 x Armguards Backstop netting (sufficient to cover the width behindthe targets and several metres to either side, hungloosely and not stretched) Markers to indicate the shooting line, e.g. rope or cones Ground quivers to hold bows and arrows11

20N E W P L A C E S F O R TA R G E T FA C E SCase StudiesARCHERY GBThe market is continually growing and these arejust two examples of archery providers in action.Further case studies are available on request.Stowmarket Golf Centre, SuffolkGL1 Recreation CentreStowmarket Golf Centre added archery facilities to its sitein 2012, using a small strip of land beside the golf coursewhich had originally been intended for a smaller size course.The centre offers archery as an activity but does not keepequipment other than the targets set up throughout the year.Deer Park Archers started using GL1 Leisure Centre, Gloucester, in2013 to run occasional beginner’s courses and support communityevents. With a strengthening relationship and the need forincreased indoor facilities, the club approached GL1 for a moreregular arrangement.The golf and archery are completely independent and canfunction simultaneously. Archers are able to use the facilitieswhenever the centre is open and there is adequate daylight.The community use focus of the Stowmarket Golf Centre andthe focus on attracting new participants is reflected in the low‘entry level’ fees; it offers a six hour beginner’s archery coursefrom 50.The club then hired the bowls hall once a week and the Centrebought carpet to cover the floor and allowed the club to storeequipment there. The club then ran an open community sessionprior to the practice, using the income to part offset the hire costs.Stowmarket Archery Club member fees are 120 per annum,payable in full for more experienced shooters or for those whoare initially less committed it offers the option of a 60 firstpayment followed by payments per visit. Stowmarket ArcheryClub also uses the driving range facilities for indoor archeryfor 2 hours per week but only after dark, removing the panelsbetween stations to shoot and replacing them after its activityand the locking up.The facilities and equipment are run and maintained by thecentre which is also looking into the possibility of building anundercover area for the archers. The successful facility shareis attributed to a number of factors: facility open access, thefriendly environment and its affordability both to join and toenrol in introductory courses.The community focus and desire to drive participation addsto this and the Golf Club has database records allowing directmarketing to members and those that have accessed the golfand/or archery facilities.To find out more visit:www.stowmarketgolfcentre.co.ukThe open community session and the club practice session quicklytook off. To sustain the interest the centre put two general sportscoaches on a Level 1 Coaching Archery course and arranged for anumber of their staff to receive training to deliver Arrows.This allowed the centre to set up their own club using the Arrowsequipment. Run in parallel with the community session this createda successful pathway from the Arrows session for 5-8 year olds.These sessions have become so successful that in return the clubnow gets the hire of the hall for free. Furthermore the club isrecruiting both juniors and seniors into the club!The open community session attracts three types of participants, thecasual user of the centre who see the archery advertised, generalpublic wishing to do a beginners course and existing members of theCentre whose membership entitles them to try a number of sportsduring the year.The relationship with the Centre has benefited all parties and thevenue has hosted events for the County Indoor Championships,Archery GB’s Big Weekend and a number of day care centre anddisability groups.21
22N E W P L A C E S F O R TA R G E T FA C E SARCHERY GBFrequently Asked QuestionsIs archery dangerous?Will the arrows damage my sports hall?Organised archery is one of the safest sports due to thesimple but fundamental rules followed by all archers. Ofcourse, as a projectile sport, careless action can cause seriousharm. However by using qualified coaches or instructors,recommended equipment and by following a common senseapproach to safety, there should be no problem introducingarchery into your facility.Whilst arrows have points, occurrences of damage to floors isvery rare. When shooting indoors a safety net is hung looselybehind the targets and this catches any arrows that miss theboss. There may be a few wall collisions with arrows as the netdoes not guarantee that the arrows will be stopped completely.Any arrows that don’t make the target will drop on the floorand slide, which will cause very little or no damage.Can I run archery as a public session?Is archery included in the Active PeopleSurvey (APS)?Yes, many sessions are run up and down the country everyweek offering archery as an existing activity for all the family.You will want to ensure you are using qualified staff and therelevant safety elements have been installed such as insurance,risk assessments and the right equipment.Archery is covered by APS. Our national target is 1,000 extrapeople per year to move us from 35,000 in 2013 to 39,000by 2017. In December 2014, APS reported 36,100 weeklyparticipants and 58,700 monthly participants.Do I need insurance?Yes.
