About Bowmen of Petersfield

Bowmen of Petersfield are a target archery club shooting at The Petersfield School, Petersfield in Hampshire. We shoot during the summer months on the school field by the tennis courts on Tuesday and Friday evenings 6pm - 8pm (or dusk if earlier), and Sunday mornings 9.30am - 12.30pm. In the winter months, we shoot in the sports hall on Tuesday evenings 7pm - 9pm, and Sunday mornings 10am - 12noon.

The club was formed in April 1986, initially located at Penns Place using the Cricket Pitch.

A few years later Petersfield Town Football Club offered us the use of their football ground, we could shoot there two evenings and on Sunday mornings. Our next move was to our current home at The Petersfield School. We use the sports field for outdoor shooting in the summer and the Sports Hall for indoor shooting during the winter months. We have a good working relationship with the school, offering the PE department archery sessions for year 11 pupils and recently getting involved with the GCSE programme.

The club has also been involved with helping youngsters achieve Gold, Silver and Bronze awards in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme. We are a friendly club and welcome all who are interested in trying archery. We have a number of experienced coaches who are always willing to help members improve their shooting. On the shooting field you can compete against others or just do your own thing, there is room for all comers and all abilities.
