The Fort Purbrook Company of Bowmen, is a GNAS affiliated club run in the Peter Ashley Activity Centre, based in a Victorian fort just outside Portsmouth.

We cater for all ages but give extra help and attention to junior archers.

We run regular six week beginner courses throughout the year

We have have enjoyed considerable success since the club was formed in 1984, having had our archers shoot for the county and national teams, won county and national gold medals, and set new county records. 

In 2007 we won two gold medals at the English National Field Championships, (Gents Longbow Daniel Hawley & Ladies Trad Charlotte Hawley.) and in 2008 we followed that up with two golds at the All British Field Championships, (Gents Longbow Daniel Hawley & Gents Trad Duncan Elm.) 

The club is not just about winning medals. It is a very friendly club with low pressure and advice available on all styles of shooting.

We have close links with Havant & Hayling Bowmen who share the outdoor range facilities of Fort Purbrook with us.
