2026 West Somerset Company of Archers and Bowmen of Danesfield Inter-club Shoot

On a phenomenally sunny Bank Holiday Sunday - 24th May 2026, West Somerset Company of Archers hosted another Somerset based archery club - the Bowmen of Danesfield for a fun inter-club competition.

Archers from both clubs took part using a range of bow styles, with compound, barebow, longbow and recurve all being used.

It was a great day shooting a "Windsor" across a range of distances - which meant six ends (36 arrows) across either 60/50/40 yards, 50/40/30 yards or 30/20/10 yards.

There was also a delicious BBQ provided for the occasion.

A trophy was awarded to Bowmen of Danesfield as overall they had a higher average score across all their team. Additionally, Bowmen of Danesfield members Rob Smith, Ewan Cotterell, Barry Iles and Linda Sharp were all recognised for their highest scores in their individual categories.

Hopefully this can become an annual event between the two Somerset archery clubs.

Bowmen of Danesfield are an archery club based in the Williton area close to the Quantock Hills. Find their website here.
