Directions to Fairwood / Sketty Lane where we shoot.
Fairwood is where we often shoot outdoors, usually after Easter, however we may be heading out earlier this year. For the rest of the year, and certainly up until Christmas, we have been lucky enough to secure part of the main sports hall for both Wednesday and Saturday sessions
For the first 3 or 4 weeks of the academic year we will split those of you at the 2-hour Wednesday shoot into two groups. Each group will get to shoot for 1 hour. For the hour that each group is not shooting you will be introduced to the equipment and etiqutte involved in shooting. This helps to keep the number of people shooting at one time down, so allowing us to pay more attention to the freshers and giving you a faster turn-around, ultimately allowing you to shoot more arrows more quickly! If you get really confused or haven’t joined the club turn up at 18:45, but be prepared to wait if it’s busy
When we settle down after the start of the year, the club practices twice a week, so come join us:
- Beginners – Wednesday 7 – 9pm
- Experienced – Saturday 9am – Midday
If you would like to come along on Saturday but don’t at the
moment, come and see us during a Wednesday session. Since there is no coaching on Saturdays, we need to be confident that everyone is competent to shoot. That said, don’t be put off, we don’t judge anyone, and so long as you are shooting safely you will be more than welcome!
Be aware that to allow us to record scores, on Saturdays we shoot at a longer distance onto the smaller 60cm and 40cm target faces. This is a bit of a step up from the Mondays, but scoring is optional, and if you come along and don’t like it there’s no obligation to stay!
If you come along on Saturdays, make sure you know what equipment (bows, arrows, etc) you usually shoot and how to set them up. If you have any questions about this try and find out on a Monday session, so we can get set up quicker on Saturdays.
If you finish getting your equipment together and we’re not ready to shoot (at either session) ask us if there’s anything else needed to get the hall ready for shooting. It’s in your interests, as we can start shooting quicker. We won’t ask you to do anything too difficult (well, maybe)!

We can usually be found strengthening out shooting arms in the pub after a session (you can comealong to this bit whatever your level):
- Monday – At the back of JC’s (on the comfy sofas!)
- Saturday – JC’s, or Potters Wheel
If you have any problems finding us, go to the contact pages and get in touch.
