Venues and Times
We have two shooting centres. The outdoor range is used in Spring and Summer (though outdoor shooting does go on all-year-round) before moving indoors during Autumn and Winter.
Indoor
Our indoor venue is located at Boldon Community Association. Indoor shooting commences at the end of September. The hall is a shared archery and bowls hall. Any club members using the centre MUST wear flat, smooth-soled, gripless shoes that will not mark the bowls surface whilst putting protective carpets down. Archers are reminded that they should arrive in plenty of time to help with the set up of the hall.
- Wednesday 7:00pm – 9:30pm
- Friday 7:00pm – 9:30pm
- Sunday 9:30am – 12:00pm
SUNDAY SESSIONS ARE FOR BEGINNERS COURSES. NOT FOR GENERAL MEMBER SHOOTING.
Outdoor
Located behind Boldon Cricket Club, on the main Sunderland to Newcastle road. There is a small car park, adjacent to the field, specifically for archers and facilities are available.
The outdoor season generally begins the first sunday in April and we move indoors again following the AGM in October. Shooting takes place daily most of the year, and archers are limited only by weather.
Beginners Courses
All our courses follow the guidelines as laid down by AGB and our Club Coaches are qualified by AGB. From time to time, junior assistant coaches, trainee Level 1 / Session coaches and unqualified experienced archers may be involved in coaching and teaching.
Beginners lessons take place during the indoor season (October-March) on a Sunday morning. For the rest of the year the lessons are held at our Outdoor venue on various days. Our lessons are open to aged from 10 and upwards and all physical abilities. Our course comprises two online lessons and five hands-on lessons.
All the necessary safety and shooting equipment needed for the course is provided for you for the course. We also have a bow hiring scheme for people to have access to equipment after completing our course in order to reduce the costs associated with starting a new sport.
