CMO Bowmen is an archery club located in Pampisford Road, South Croydon (click here for a map). and have been in existence since 1961. We currently have about 80 members, shooting target archery, with recurve, compound and longbow archers (sorry no crossbows) of mixed ability from beginner to county standard.
Sunday afternoon is the main day for shooting all year. Instruction and practice takes place on Saturday mornings all year round. Disabled Archers may shoot on Saturdays from May to September. Club practice night is on a Wednesday. During the Winter we normally have indoor facilities at one of the local schools.
We periodically run archery courses for beginners. Places on these courses are in demand so if you are interested please complete the contact form so we can advise you of the dates of the next course with spaces.
Club Structure
No green fees are charged to archers (senior or junior) who have their own equipment and have paid a full membership. Juniors (under 18) are not allowed to shoot without senior members being present. Indoor shooting and tournaments are extra if you participate.
