World Record holder, Barry Groves, on Flight Archery






What is Flight Archery?

There are several different disciplines within the sport of archery. All are developed from either hunting or warfare. Most involve shooting at a target. Flight archery is the one that doesn't. I like to think of Flight archery as the "Formula One" of archery.



A DIY Flight Bow

A flight bow is different from a normal target bow. Here is an easy way to make one.



Flight Arrows

Unless you are shooting in a Target bow class, you will need to make your own arrows. Here's how.



Making a Flight Release

Flight compounds are shot with a normal release aid but a recurve Flight bow uses a "flipper". This is how they are made.



Measuring Distances

You might think measuring the distance an arrow has been shot is simple. It is — but only when you know how!



The Windrush Bowmen

Based in Witney, Oxfordshire, this is my local club. If you are interested in the sport and live in this area, why not give us a try?

  • We shoot all year round — indoors in the winter and outdoors in summer.
  • We shoot all disciplines — Target, Field, Clout and Flight.
  • We cater for all bow types — longbow, recurve, compound.
  • We even have primitive bowmen.

Beginners — men, women, boys and girls — are welcome. Our beginners' courses start on the first Tuesday of May each year. Application forms are available through the Windrush Bowmen website.

My Flight bows are made for me by Ben Jones at Merlin Bows of Loughborough, UK. Merlin also make a superb range of Compound and Recurve Target bows.
     I can thoroughly recommend their equipment, their expertise and their friendly help and service. Their range is available directly by mail order. For more information about their products and services go to http://www.merlinarcherycentre.co.uk/. And they deliver worldwide.
