Welcome to the Company of Sixty
The Company of Sixty is a long established, friendly field archery club, registered with the
National Field Archery Society .
We have exclusive rental of a large plot of beautiful Surrey woodland, which is within easy
reach of the M25 and the A3. The woodland is owned and managed by the Crown Estates. Our
exclusive rental ensures that we can set a course, and have it available for member's practice
7 days a week. Members may shoot at any day or time which suits them, except for organised
shoots or course maintenance periods.
Our constitution follows that of the NFAS, and most shoots are run under the auspices of
the NFAS, and hence the NFAS rulebook. This governs safety, scoring and etiquette. All members
of the Company of Sixty are required to join the NFAS. The NFAS provide shooting and
practice insurance as a membership benefit. For full details, please refer to the NFAS website.
We shoot at 2D and 3D targets, in woodland, over unmarked distances.
We shoot to all NFAS equipment classes and styles ,
with the exception of cross bows. This is due to restrictions placed
upon us by the landowner. Many of our members have a leaning towards the more traditional
side of archery, and so you will find a large proportion of our members shooting in the English
Longbow, but the other styles are well represented.
If what you read here is interesting, and you would like to meet some of us, please come down
to the shoot ground on the day of a friendly shoot and have a chat. You can find the dates of
these meetings in the Calendar section of this website. Please do not come down to the ground
on any other day however. Alternatively, you could contact Carol (our membership secretary),
and maybe take a trial archery lesson at her shop : Carol Archery .
Carol can of course also supply all of your archery needs.
Thanks very much for stopping by our website. We hope to welcome you into the friendly world
of field archery at our club.
