# Artemis Archers Field Archery Club
Artemis Archers is a family-oriented field archery club based in Belper, Derbyshire, offering accessible introduction to competitive archery across the UK's woodland courses. The club serves individuals and families of all ages and abilities seeking an outdoor sporting community that combines physical challenge with social engagement.
Field archery involves walking marked woodland trails whilst shooting at 36-40 numbered targets from designated pegs in small groups. Members compete in weekly open shoots at various clubs nationwide, where approximately 100 archers gather to test their accuracy and skill. The sport emphasises strict safety protocols, making it one of the safest shooting sports available. What distinguishes Artemis Archers is their commitment to removing barriers to entry—archery can be learned competently within weeks, yet offers lifetime mastery potential. The club's integration within established governing bodies (National Field Archery Society and English Field Archery Association) grants members access to insurance, comprehensive event calendars, coaching courses, and competitive pathways including European, World, and International Championships.
The community atmosphere sets them apart; shooting days combine competitive sport with socialising, catering, and family participation. Rather than isolated training, members experience camaraderie with fellow archers across the country during open shoots. The club deliberately positions field archery as accessible to ordinary people seeking adventure in beautiful natural settings, transforming routine woodland walks into engaging sporting experiences. Their structured approach ensures newcomers become safe, competent archers whilst maintaining competitive opportunities for advancing members.
