# Buchan Archers Outdoor
Buchan Archers is a community-focused archery club operating in the Peterhead area, offering year-round access to both indoor and outdoor shooting facilities. Based in Peterhead AB42 3DY, the club operates seasonally at Longside airfield during summer months (May to September) and relocates to Peterhead Community Centre for the winter indoor season (October to April).
The club serves archers of all levels, from complete beginners to experienced competitors, welcoming adults, juniors aged 8 and above, disabled participants, and families. What sets Buchan Archers apart is their genuine emphasis on inclusivity and enjoyment rather than pure competition. They actively encourage newcomers through a unique trial system allowing up to three free drop-in sessions before any financial commitment, with staff recommending the indoor season for beginners due to superior facilities and instruction setup.
The club accommodates multiple archery disciplines including barebow, longbow, recurve, and compound shooting, reflecting their diverse membership base. Their transparent, affordable pricing structure—with annual memberships from £10 to £80 and modest session fees—demonstrates genuine commitment to accessibility. The organisation operates with formal governance through a club constitution and maintains active community engagement via their Facebook Group, where members answer questions and build camaraderie.
Sunday sessions run consistently from 11:00am to 2:00pm, providing reliability for regular participation. The provision of a live webcam link to check outdoor weather conditions exemplifies their practical, member-focused approach.
