The Company of Sixty is a long-established field archery club, in beautiful Surrey woodland, close to the M25/A3.

Company of Sixty was founded in 1973 by a group of pioneering traditional archers whose goal was to establish a club to promote the practice and competition of of field archery and to promote the preservation and protection of the woodland and wildlife where it is practiced. The Club derives its name from its original location in the 'sixty acre wood' behind Chessington Zoo in Surrey. In 1988 that land was placed into trust and the club was obliged to relocate .

The search for new a new home proved difficult. In desperation in 1988 Carol Pearce (Edwards) and her father Jim wrote to HRH Prince Charles, who had some years previously been involved with the raising of the 'Mary Rose' whose wreck was found to contain a treasure trove of historical archery equipment and artifacts, including medieval longbows and arrows perfectly preserved in the silt of the Solent, telling the Prince about the Club's preservation of the practice and heritage of the English Longbow and asking for help.

Much to the amazement of the club. HRH Prince Charles sent instructions to the Crown Estate office in Windsor to give the club the use of 100 acres of woodland we have enjoyed ever since, 365 days a year in Oxshott Surrey.

For this reason the heart of our club remains the practice of traditional wooden  and longbow archery, although we now welcome field archers using any equipment (except crossbow). All NFAS Classes are shot with the exception of Crossbow. The club runs four open shoots a year and a number of informal events for members and visitors throughout the year.

Company of Sixty is a friendly club which welcomes archers of all abilities.
