Buscot Park Field course is laid out amidst approximately  9 acres of beautiful unspoilt deciduous woodland that lies adjacent to Buscot Park target field. The course is shot between March and October and is open on Wednesday and Friday evenings 4pm onwards and Sundays all day from 8.30 am and is only closed for the pheasant shooting season (1st October–1st February).

The woods are spectacularly beautiful throughout the seasons but are particularly splendid in the spring when they are carpeted with bluebells and many other varieties of woodland flora.

The course at present consists of 20 targets set at distances ranging from approximately 15 metres to 50 metres and variously unmarked distances between. Members go around in groups of two to six depending on numbers present and shooting a full course takes about 2 to 3 hours, the time taken depends on the skill and accuracy of the archers.

Seniors shoot from the Red Peg, Juniors from the Blue Peg.  Maximum arrows are 3 per target, stopping when you hit the target.

Points are scored as follows:

The variety of targets and distances shot make field archery extremely challenging, very enjoyable and great fun for all who try it. So if you find target archery a bit regimented and boring why not try your hand at field shooting in our magnificent woodland, we’re sure you will love it.
