NCAS Junior Archery Programme – Dates Now Confirmed!

We are pleased to introduce the NCAS Junior Archery Programme, a dedicated development programme for junior Recurve, Barebow, Compound and Traditional archers who affiliate through Northamptonshire County Archery Society (NCAS).

The programme has been designed to provide ambitious young archers with access to structured, high-quality coaching and athlete development opportunities, supporting progression at both county and national levels. Whether your goal is to improve your shooting at club level, represent the county or work towards national pathways, the programme is designed to complement the coaching you already receive at your club.

Working alongside experienced development coaches, the sessions aim to help junior archers maximise their potential, build confidence and develop the skills needed for long-term success.

Programme Details

📅 One Saturday per month
🕙 10:00am – 12:00pm (Please arrive by 9:45am)
💷 £15 per session

The dates have been planned to avoid clashes with the Youth Festival, JNOC and JAS competition series wherever possible.

Archers of Raunds 2nd Outdoor Charity Open – Spaces remaining

There are 17 spaces left for the Western shoot on 2nd August. 6 of those spaces are for shorter distances (40/30 yards and 30/20 yards) so for anyone who has not shot a tournament before and wants to give it a go, then you can enter on the AoR website (link below). This would suit someone who just wants the experience of trying a tournament with no pressure!

I’ve also got 2 spaces on Western 50 if anyone wants a go at that. For anyone feeling brave, there are 3 spaces left at 100/80 yards (New Western).

This is a charity shoot PASIC , an East Midlands based charity supporting children with cancer. This charity has been chosen by Shannon Kilraine.

Sunday 2nd August 2026.

Assembly will be at 10:45 with sighters at 11am.

Entry form and prospectus at here.
