They are the only traditional archery club in the North West, concentrating on all types of traditional shooting especially English Longbow, Flatbow, one piece wooden recurves and horse bows. The Longbow Club is one of the most successful traditional clubs in the UK winning many archery competitions.

As well as running their own club shoots their members also attend target, 3D field archery, clout and roving competitions across the country. The club holds many records and the silverware is impressive. They don’t allow modern Olympic recurve or compound bows in the club and only shoot with traditional equipment.

The Longbow Club hold their archery practice outdoors at Ridgeway School in Birkenhead and are lucky enough to have a field that the traditional archers can shoot both Target up to 100yds and Clout at 180yds distances at the same time. When they need to practice for indoor competitions through the winter they have a 20 yard, 3 lanes indoor venue based near The Longbow Shop in Birkenhead.

The club has members that are highly experienced in all areas of traditional archery with many at GMB and MB standard. With 4 Archery GB coaches and firm links to The Longbow Shop, they can help all archers develop and progress in their archery.
