The Bowmen of Minchinhampton are a new arrival to the “family” at OHMG.

Founded in the mid-1970s, the Bowmen needed a new home when Eastington Community Centre stepped into the breach and agreed shooting facilities on part of the OHMG site.

You will now see the Bowmen shooting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings and Sunday mornings.

Peter Munday, Secretary of the archery club said

“We are very grateful to the OHMG Committee for enabling us to move to Eastington at short notice, and for being so helpful in assisting our arrival. Archery is a growing sport and we needed more space for the Club.

We welcome people coming to see our practice sessions – introduce yourself and a member of the club will be happy to explain about archery and becoming an archer.”

The Bowmen of Minchinhampton are a member club of Archery GB, and hold Beginners courses twice a year. Club members hold several County records; there are four qualified coaches; and one of the members – Kieran Slater – is a member of the Great Britain recurve archery team.
