Club hours -Update
The July Club hours are now live. Please note the following:
- July 13th, 20th, 27th and August 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th. On these dates the school has cricket matches that will use the main field and the pavilion. We should have access to the other field hence we have outdoor access. However, you will need to make sure you check with Chris as the Cricket matches will have priority on those dates and could use either field.
- Also during the last 2 weeks of August, Chris will be maintaining the grounds which could mean that there will be limited outdoor shooting at that time.
Coaching at the Bowmen of Harrow
As you may have seen there have been some updates regarding safeguarding and coaching information. We are pleased to announce our Coaching page listing Licensed Coaches who are part of the club.

Bowmen of Harrow – Club Summer Championships & Social Event! -Save the date
We’re happy to report that we now have a date for the 2024 BOH Summer Champs/Social, please keep Sunday 25th August free on your calendars as this will be the big day!
More details to follow, but please expect a great day full of activities, food, drink & of course… a little bit of archery.
Commencement of outdoor season shooting!
As some of you will know the outdoor season is upon us and this means outside shooting! This can be tremendous fun and we are lucky to have complimentary use of the fields because of our great relationship with the John Lyon School!
Some members will not have shot outside before, and we would like to explain to these members about where to shoot outside on the fields and under what conditions. Kit and Jon will be contacting recently joined members to arrange some induction appointments so please keep an eye out in your inboxes for something from either of the below email addresses.
Meanwhile, all club members should take a moment to familiarise themselves with our club web page that describes the various shooting areas we have on site.
