About the Club:

In 2008 & 2009 High Cross Field Archers  hosted two main NFAS Open archery events in the May & October of each year on our old site at High Cross Farm, Elkstone.

Due to farming activities we were forced to dismantle the course at High Cross farm in late 2010. We decided to search for a new site and subsequently we were pleased to move to Denfurlong Farm, Chedworth in August 2011.

2011 Nationals at Eastnor Castle:

A team from High Cross built one of the courses at this years NFAS Nationals. We were pleased with our course despite it being covered in six foot high bracken when we first arrived. Comments from participants were very favourable and suggested the course was very challenging as well as safe and interesting. the team made the best they could from the woodland and the land contours. This is all good practice for the new course at Denfurlong farm.

Friendly shoot 27th Nov.

45 NFAS archers turned up on a glorious bright sunny day. after stuffing them selves with full English breakfasts in the cafe, 36 targets were shot before repairing back to the cafe for tea and cakes. Comments about the course where favourable with only a few minor adjustments recomended. We have decided to put on another fun shoot on the 31st December

Club Notes & Memberships.

The club plans to arrange at least two NFAS open shoots per year commencing in 2012. Other activities will be posted on the website from time to time. 'Have a go sessions' will be advertised here when arranged. 

The club always welcomes inquiries about membership from existing NFAS & potential new members. We insist you join NFAS which will then cover public liabilities insurance; members also agree to the club rules of shooting and etiquette. When you join NFAS you can state the club to which you belong, you can say High Cross on the NFAS form if you wish and then when you get the confirmation back from NFAS send us your application form along with the current membership fee. Some NFAS members may if they wish belong to more than one club.

Our membership year runs from April to April in line with NFAS membership requirments.

New members of  High Cross are enroled as provisional members. Members must join NFAS, whose regulations allow you to  shoot with us under NFAS insurance and rules.  As soon as we are of the opinion that you are competent and safe, club officers may sign you off as a full NFAS member, this allows you to attend Open NFAS shoots country wide.

Members regularly attend NFAS shoots at other clubs and National competitions. We try to arrange car sharing as much as possible to help with costs and cut down on fuel use. To find out what shoots are on follow the link http://www.nfas.net/shootdates.asp .

Further advice and many tips can be gained from current members, some of whom make traditional equipment.

The club is also very greatfull to Cash4Clubs for their grant to help us purchase new bosses.They have been constructed and used on the course  at  Denfurlong farm.
