# South Wansdyke Archery Club
South Wansdyke Archery Club is an Archery GB affiliated club based in Radstock, North East Somerset, serving archers of all abilities and ages since 1989. The club provides year-round shooting opportunities across two dedicated ranges: a 90m/100-yard outdoor range and a 20-metre indoor facility, ensuring members can practice and compete regardless of season or weather conditions.
The club caters to beginners through to competitive archers, with structured progression pathways including beginner and improver courses, progression awards, and monthly club competitions. Members regularly participate in local, regional and national tournaments, combining serious competitive development with a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere.
What distinguishes South Wansdyke is their commitment to balancing competitiveness with accessibility. Rather than catering exclusively to elite archers, they actively position themselves as a family-friendly venue supporting all bow categories—whether recurve, compound or traditional. This inclusive philosophy extends to their diverse programme: alongside formal training and competitions, the club organises fun shoots and social events, making archery approachable for those seeking gentle recreation as well as those pursuing serious competition.
Their longevity—established over 35 years ago—demonstrates sustained community trust and operational stability. The dual-range facility is a significant advantage, enabling year-round shooting and catering to different disciplines and training stages. This combination of professional standards, comprehensive facilities, inclusive community values and competitive opportunities positions South Wansdyke as a distinctive offering in Somerset's sporting landscape.
