Welcome to the Bride Valley Junior Archers Website.
We are a Junior club (ages 7-15 at present), run entirely on a voluntary basis. The club, formed in 2009 now has over 50 members. We are based in Litton Cheney with many members from villages in the Bride Valley and others from around West Dorset. The Club also has links with several local schools and youth groups.
We are affiliated to Archery GB, the Grand Western Archery Society (GWAS) and Dorset and Wilts Archery Association (DWAA).
We generally train on Saturday afternoons on our outdoor range next to Thorner's School. We have a wide selection of equipment for recurve, barebow, longbow and compound shooting styles. We are active in target, clout and field archery. During the winter we sometimes shoot indoors at Litton and Thorner's Community Hall.
Many club members compete in local tournaments and many have achieved success at County, Regional and National level. In fact three archers have won National titles and seven have set National records.
The Club is actively encouraging junior participation in a safe, rewarding and fun environment.
If you would like to try archery or for further details contact the club secretary.
