Norton Archers is a friendly, award winning club on Teesside with members who shoot for both pleasure and competition. We are open to all archers who are Archery GB affiliated members (please email to let us know if you want to come along to a session and bring your Archery GB card with you), and if you would like to take up archery for the first time we also run 5-session beginners' courses; these are a requirement to coach you in shooting safely before joining any archery club. More information on the courses can be found on our beginners' page, including the process for registering your interest in taking a course with us.

We shoot at Norton (Teesside) Sports Complex (more information on the sessions page). If you would like to ask any questions about the club please visit the forum or feel free to contact us via email or telephone.

Open To All
Anyone over the age of 8 years can apply for membership or take a beginners' course with us, although under 16s must be accompanied by an adult at all times. If you would like to take a beginners' course and feel that you may have to adjust the way you shoot due to a disability, please feel free to discuss this with our coaches at any time.

In terms of the styles of archery we take part in, our members use a wide range of bows (including Olympic-style recurve bows, longbows, compound bows and more) for Target Archery during practice sessions and in competitions, and attend Field Archery and Clout competitions in addition. Our competition achievements are all recorded on our Twitter feed - as you can see, our novices and juniors in particular are having a great year!

We are affiliated to Archery GB, Durham and Northumberland Archery Association (DNAA) and Northern Counties Archery Society (NCAS). We are also an ontarget club (part of Archery GB's club development programme), and we are holding special coaching sessions for people taking part in the Gold Challenge (click here for more information).

We would like to extend a special thank you to Priory Archers for their support during our setting up period.
