Archery clubs and ranges by area

Find somewhere to shoot: archery clubs, ranges and grounds mapped across 8 areas from OpenStreetMap.

Finding a club

A club is the normal way into archery. Most clubs affiliated to a national governing body run a beginners' course covering range safety and the basic shot, and completing it is usually the route to membership and regular shooting.

This directory maps clubs, ranges and grounds across 8 areas, drawn from OpenStreetMap. It is a starting point; sessions, courses and membership change, so confirm the details with the club before travelling.

Where the clubs are

The areas with the most mapped archery facilities in this directory are led by United Kingdom (38).

Coverage reflects what volunteers have mapped in OpenStreetMap rather than a complete register, so a club missing here may simply not be on the map yet.

Clubs, ranges and grounds

A club is an organised group with a membership and a shooting programme. A range or shooting ground is the physical space with the distances and backstops that target and field archery need; a club often has its own ground, and some grounds host more than one club.

Whether a ground is open to visitors or reserved for members varies, so check access before you travel to shoot.

How the directory is built

Every entry in this directory comes from OpenStreetMap, the open map of the world built by volunteers. A facility is listed only when it is tagged as an archery site and carries a real name, so an empty or unnamed marker never becomes a page.

That means the coverage is honest but incomplete: it reflects what mappers have recorded rather than a full national register. If a club you know is missing, it may simply not be mapped yet, and the map can be improved by anyone. The details shown, from a town to a website, are whatever the map holds, so confirm the current session times and membership with the club itself.
