Archery Club
University of Birmingham Archery Club are a friendly club who cater for many styles of shooting and welcome both competitive and social members of all abilities. It is also one of the leading archery clubs in the country.
The club members hold a mix of records within local league, university and national leagues including international medals and BUCS individual and team medals. Successes from last season include the Ladies Recurve Team winning BUCS Indoor Championships Gold and the BUCS Outdoor Championships Gold; both titles are 3 years undefeated! Our sports scholar Eleanor Piper also competed in the Archery World Cup and took home a silver medal for Team GB!

How to get involved
Taster session and/or trial information will be available soon. The membership fee is £95 for novice and experienced archers, and £95 for performance members which is to be paid through match fees.
Please note that on top of the club fee there is a £16 fee that covers personal accident insurance when training or competing for the University, access to free cross-training sessions such as circuits and yoga, as well as a contribution to the costs of affiliation to various national governing bodies. This fee is only payable once so if you did decide to join a second club then you would not need to pay a second fee.
Archery is social, competitive and inclusive to all.

In 1995 we created the BUTTS league (officially the BUTTS Challenge league). It has now grown into one of the best and most challenging divisions of student archery.
University of Birmingham Archery Club won Perfomance Team of the year at 2016-17 and 2017-18 Sports Awards.
Currently, we have two members who shoot for Archery GB.
