Welcome to the web site of Southampton University's Archery Club.

Latest Update!

Hey Everyone,

At last exams are over, coursework is in and for a while at least we are free! The last few weeks have been crazy busy with most people up to their eyeballs in work and revision so the range has been pretty quite. However now all that is behind us its time to really get into gear as BUCS is fast approaching.

For anyone that doesn't know this is the biggest indoor competition of the year for us and involves pretty much every university that has an archery club all in the same place! This year it is being held in Sheffield and the next month and a half will really see us pushing hard on the training front. Hopefully we will see lots of nice new pb's over the next few weeks!

There are also a number of other competitions that we should be getting involved with over the next month. Notably the RN South coast Archers competition and BUTC, another national competition however this one is run as a head to head so lots and lots of mental pressure for those competing but should make a nice change to the usual Portsmouth round!

On a side note the forum is now no more as no one really uses it anymore due to the rise of the book of faces that apparently some people use. I have also added all the photo galleries that I could find from the past year. Check them out here.

I hope all your exams went well and look forward to an excellent archery filled term!

Want to join?
Whilst we pride ourselves in welcoming everyone who comes to us, time and available coaching is limited - if you're thinking of joining the club, please email us (archclub@soton.ac.uk) and we'll try to fit you in, as best we can.

Location
The archery range is located on the boat hard, on Oliver Road, down near Riverside Park. It's within easy walking distance of the Wessex Lane halls, which can be got to on the U1A or U6 busses from the Uni-Link Interchange.
