Welcome
to the home of the Sherwood Forresters Longbow
Archery Club. We only shoot English longbows.
We shoot in the grounds of Barlborough Hall, Barlborough, Derbyshire, J30 M1. We are two minutes from the Motorway and we are ideally situated for longbow archery in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. In the middle ages the club grounds would have been part of Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood country!
If you are interested
in a beginners/taster course of 4
sessions at a total cost of £20 or are an experienced longbow archer
looking for a new Club please email us for further details.
Shooting will be 24/7 once we have enough experienced archers
to supervise beginners and improvers. Please click here

The area used by the
Club on a day-to-day
basis is in excess of 12 acres of rough grass and
trees, ideal for Roving Mark and Field Shoots. Our target field is
approx 50 yards by 180 yards (plus an extra 100 yards overshoot) and is mown
every week.
We are not affiliated
with any archery
organisation or society, we carry our own
£5 million Club insurance which covers us for all
traditional archery shoots, such as target, clout, roving,
field and mediaeval skill rounds such as: Friar Tuck's
Grasp and shooting the wand.
Archery is a gentle and
enjoyable form of exercise,
