Redruth Archers

Where and when do we shoot?

Archers shoot outdoors all the year round, with indoor facilities from October to March or April.

Summer Venue

During the summer we are based at a field on the New Portreath Road. The red rectangle marks the position of the field.

Winter Venues

This winter (Oct 2010/March 2011) we will be based indoors in the Sports Hall at Pool School on Sunday mornings.

Shooting also continues outdoors (if you're hardy enough!)

Target Days

Target Days are when Club members can shoot rounds which will count towards lowering their handicap and giving them a classification. This could be any day of the week, so long as another archer undertakes your scoring. Club members can also shoot at any time for practice. The Club is open to all visitors who are affiliated members of G.N.A.S./F.I.T.A.; you are welcome to come and shoot with us.

Beginners

Beginners lessons are on Wednesdays from 7:30pm and Saturdays from 10:30am.(See "Beginners" link page for more details)

Tournaments

The Club organises five Open Tournaments outdoors each Summer (open to all GNAS & FITA Affiliated Archers), as well as the Club Championships when all Club Members shoot.

Two of the Open tournaments, the Double American in April, and the Double FITA in August (in association with the County) are Record Status events, therefore help from Club members is needed to see that everything runs smoothly. Everything from setting up the field, to checking scores, provide and run the refreshment stall and raffle needs to be done, either by Club members or members of their families.

In the Spring and just before the County's 'Grand Day' tournament we host:-

A two-way Western longbow round followed by a short (English) longbow Clout, at 100 yards for gentlemen, 80 yards for ladies.
Then, a new addition since 2008, a Double 720 and Cadet 720 round. World Record Status. This year being held in May.
