Welcome to Gipping Valley Archers

Based upon the grounds of Stowmarket Golf Centre, Gipping Valley Archers is an archery club that is run, maintained and managed entirely by volunteers.  Despite its incredible growth over the past few years, the club focuses on being one in which archers can have fun, be sociable and achieve their own chosen goals safely. We are a very inclusive club encoraging all ages (8 to 80) and all abilities to enjoy the sport of archery.

Club Shooting

We fully support the Archery GBs Indoor (winter), Outdoor (summer) and Field classification schemes – where Badges are awarded at the end of a season. In addition to our regular diary or Club Target Days on Saturdays and Sundays we have our three themed fun shoots at Easter, Halloween and Christmas. The club also supports the ever popular 252 summer and 300 winter progression schemes where Badges are awarded as you progress through each level.
