Archery in South Bucks

Whiteleaf is a friendly archery club serving High Wycombe and South Buckinghamshire. The club is located at a dedicated field near Lacey Green.

We welcome all levels of skill and experience, from competitive tournament archers to those who just enjoy shooting down at the club. Most members shoot either recurve or traditional longbow and many shoot both disciplines. We are now pleased to welcome any compound archers in the area, as members or visitors.

We hold an annual Club Championship for recurve, a separate Club Longbow Championship, and a Chairman’s Shoot especially for our novice archers.

We run two tournaments each year: a Club Open Shoot and an Open Longbow Tournament which has proved extremely popular since its inception in 1997.

We also run beginners’ courses and in the summer the club offers “Fun Shoots” for local groups such as Scouts, Round Table, & Ladies Circle, and for Corporate Team Building & Birthday parties. Club members volunteer their time to help out, and the nominal fees help to boost club funds for further information see the contact sheet.

Target Days and Shooting Times

The ground is at our sole disposal, which allows us unlimited archery 365 days a year. Official target days are Sunday, starting at 10:00am, and Wednesday and Thursday evenings, starting at 6:00pm, but members are free to shoot whenever they wish. The ground can accommodate up to twelve targets, and has permanently-marked distances for all the major Archery GB and FITA rounds.

During the winter the club uses a local village hall for indoor shooting on most Wednesday and Thursday evenings, with sessions starting at 5:30pm and 7:30pm. Senior members contribute £3-00 per evening, which helps towards the hiring costs. Juniors shoot free.
