Welcome to Rivernook Bowmen

Rivernook Bowmen is a friendly target archery club based in Esher, Surrey.

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 8th March – Monthly Club Shoot – this will be the final monthly club shoot of the winter outdoor season. We will shoot Frostbite and/or Metric 80-30 rounds at 30 meters. All members are welcome to join in, or come along and practice together. Please have your bow set up, and be ready to start promptly by 10.30.

Sunday 12th April – Monthly Club Shoot – for the first monthly club shoot of the summer season, we will shoot Warwick rounds. All members are welcome to join in, or come along and practice together. Please have your bow set up, and be ready to start promptly by 10.30.

Sunday 26th April – Club Competition and AGM – we will shoot national rounds (4 dozen at your longest distance and 2 dozen at the next shorter distance). This is a competition, scored on a handicap-adjusted basis, so everyone is in with a chance of winning. There will be trophies for the best performing new archers who have been shooting for less than a year. Afterwards, there will be free food: a choice of Denise’s excellent chilli con carne, or her equally good vegetarian mushroom curry. And then we would like everyone to please stay for a short meeting to report on the club’s finances and progress, and to elect committee members for the next year.
