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 27th September – Club Coaching Session – David and Denise will be holding an informal coaching session from 10am to 1pm, with priority given to members who started shooting in 2025 or 2026. Come along and get some advice and feedback about your technique or chat about setting up your equipment, or whatever you want.

Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th October – Range Maintenance Working Party – all members are encouraged to help if they can with tasks around the range including hacking back the brambles, repairing, repacking, rebuilding and repainting targets, and generally getting the range in good shape for the winter season. Details to follow.

Sunday 25th October – Monthly Round – all members are warmly invited to join our next informal monthly club shoot, at which Sandie Warnes will guide us through shooting Warwick rounds. You can shoot at whatever target distance you are comfortable with. The round will start at 10.30am prompt, so be there in time to set up and warm up by then.
