Woking Double 2021 Update
It’s 2nd time lucky for The Woking Double in 2021! Last year the inaugural event was cancelled but we have our fingers crossed for the weekend of 12th & 13th June. We should be in stage 3 of the government’s relaxation of restrictions which means we can run a WRS event over 2 days. Archers will be able to enter a single day only as we still have to discourage overnight stays and because space will be limited. Both day’s will be amalgamated into a single set of results. We will be running WA 70m rounds for Recurve and Longbow as well as 50m Rounds for Compound and Barebow.
The 2021 Woking Double is Record Status registered.
Entries are now open on the AGB Portal. Visit agb.sport80.com to view the prospectus and the entry form.

Whilst writing we have a few other bits of information for you…
The Codes for the gate and loos will be as they were before the lockdown.
While we have been in lockdown quite a number of people have taken to walking in the area around the field and in some cases have taken to using the area behind the targets on the far side of the ditch this area forms part of our overshoot. We will have placed signs to indicate this area should not be used by walkers. Please take care of anyone that strays into this area while you are shooting. Should you spot anyone, stop shooting and if necessary politely point out that this is not an area for public use.
If you wish to score a round scoresheets can be downloaded and printed here or use your apps, please do not leave these to be collected and send a photo to records@wokingarchery.club is you want them to be recorded.
Stay Safe & Well.

About Woking Archery Club
Woking Archery Club is situated just outside the Wisley village, close to the Royal Horticultural Society Gardens. The Club membership is close to 150, making it one of the largest target shooting clubs in the County. We successfully combine both recreational archery with serious competitive archery; for people who want to enjoy shooting in a relaxed environment. Age is no limit, we have archers from 7 to 80. Additionally, we have members shooting all of the different bow styles.
Our membership is open to all. if you are new to archery the club offers Archery beginner courses. So to make sure you get off to a great start you must complete a course before becoming a member, unless you’re an experienced archer. Courses give a good grounding in all aspects of archery. This gives you plenty of opportunities to shoot while learning about safety and different types of bow.
We are lucky in having our own field that gives shooting seven days a week and having semi-permanent foam bosses.
The Club hosts a number of competitions. Woking Open tournament, the Woking Double (50m/60m/70m rounds), the County Junior championships, along with friendly shoots with local clubs.
