Welcome to Rivernook Bowmen
Rivernook Bowmen is a friendly target archery club based at Imber Court in Esher, Surrey. Our normal club day is Sunday morning, but our outdoor range is open for members to shoot throughout the week, summer and winter.
Beginners Courses and Taster Sessions
We run beginners courses regularly during the summer months and occasionally in the winter. To learn more about how to become an archer and sign up to our courses, please go to the How to Get Started page.
Dates for Club Members’ Diaries
Sunday 6th September – Monthly Shoot – this month’s informal club shoot will be led by Sandie, and we will be shooting National rounds. This is the same round format as we will be shooting in the club championships the following week, so a good opportunity to get some practice in! You can shoot the round at any distance from 30+20 yards to 100+80 yards. Beginners are welcome to shoot a round, or simply come along and practice at shorter distances. Please arrive and set up in good time for a 10.30 start.
Sunday 13th September – Club Championship – our annual club championship shoot is open to all members. We will shoot National rounds. Trophies are awarded for the best scores in each category on a handicap-adjusted basis, so everyone with an established handicap rating is in with a chance of winning. Free food – chili con carne or vegetarian mushroom curry and rice – will be served after the shoot.
