The ground
Set in thirty acres of mixed woodland , heath and meadow overlooking the Wharfe Valley, our course provides a varied and challenging experience.
Placed on a gently rising slope, the practice area is ideal for form and range estimation training up to seventy metres. Alternatively you may choose to follow the thirty six target course as it winds through the grounds from gully shots to open meadow, bracken swathes to wooded glades.
About us
We are registered with the N.F.A.S. and G.N.A.S and over the past two years we have hosted five open shoots. Latterly we have spread our wings a little and hosted the Northern Counties and Yorkshire Field Championships this was a two day event held under FITA regulations.
The ground has a camping and caravan club site attached and as time progresses it is our intention to develop our facilities to include a small club house.
Membership
Lets be honest we here at Riggwelter are fussy about the friends we choose as we hope you are too! The social life here is as important as the shooting if not more so and to this end we differ from most clubs in that we do not have a committee as such but a permanent executive. In addition to managing the day to day running the executive also decide collectively on the suitability of a prospective member. We are a small 'club' with a limit of forty members so we look for those who on the one hand are willing to dedicate a little of their time to the well being of the infrastructure and on the other can make a positive contribution to the social side.
Aims
To promote field archery in all its forms as an evironmentaly friendly sport for all.
