# Vanguard Archery
Vanguard Archery is an indoor archery club based at Battle Sports Centre in East Sussex, offering structured tuition and recreational archery sessions to the local community. The club caters to complete beginners through to experienced archers, with a particular emphasis on making the sport accessible to newcomers.
The club operates weekly Friday evening sessions (7pm–9pm) and runs six-week beginner courses throughout the year, with the next cohort commencing 17th April 2026. They also offer Have-A-Go sessions designed for younger participants aged 7 and upwards, providing low-commitment introductions to archery between formal courses. Group lessons are available alongside individual tuition, with all instructional approaches underpinned by a passionate, friendly teaching philosophy.
What distinguishes Vanguard Archery is its commitment to becoming part of the GB Archery network, positioning itself as the region's only dedicated indoor archery facility. Housed in the historic town of Battle, the club combines professional instruction with community accessibility. Their transparent booking process and detailed onboarding—requesting archer names, ages and handedness—demonstrates a structured, safety-conscious approach. The addition of equipment sales through member listings creates a secondary service for those seeking used kit, whilst their emphasis on club administration and member communication suggests serious operational standards despite their relatively new status. This blend of beginner-friendly accessibility, competitive GB Archery affiliation, and weekly social sessions makes Vanguard Archery a comprehensive archery destination for East Sussex.
