Glasgow Archers was founded in 1948 and moved to Craigholme Sports Centre in 1973.

So here in 2023, we'd like to welcome you to both the club's Diamond Anniversary of its founding and the Golden Anniversary of GA being resident on the same field … which was renamed from Craigholme to H@PP (Hutchesons' @ Pollock Park) in 2021.

So, welcome over … Glasgow Archers! As we said, we were formed in 1948 (when some of our members shot in pubs on dart boards against darts players!!!) and have catered for archers of all abilities and styles (except crossbow) throughout that time. From humble beginnings, the club has grown and contracted over the years depending on the current popularity of archery with club members spanning the generations. At last count we have more than 70 members having recently taken on a dozen beginners just starting their archery journeys after completing their beginners courses. We also have quite a few associate members from other clubs. Post COVID, we are pleased to be a growing and a very active club once more.

From beginners to current internationalists. Juniors (12+) to the more senior. Traditional to Hi-Tech. The vast majority of archery abilities, styles and bow types (except crossbow) are present at GA and actively encouraged. Coaching and mentoring are hugely important to us with our more experienced members, in addition to our coaches, assisting beginners as they progress. Our experienced archers even assist each other .. wither they like it or not! ;o) Glasgow Archers is honoured to have coaches David Hutton and Michael Mather (past internationalist and two-time past CEO of Scottish Archery) on our team.
We are affiliated with the Scottish Archery Association, Archery GB and World Archery.
