Illawarra Archers is a non-profit sporting club who practice the sport of target archery at our range in the foothills of Mt. Keira. We are one of the largest archery clubs in NSW with over 200 members. We practice target, field, and indoor archery, and our members use various bow types.
see the Membership page for information on joining the club
We are affiliated with the Archery Society of NSW and in turn with Archery Australia and World Archery. This allows our members to enjoy the challenge and comradery of shooting tournaments throughout the country.
Our members range from Australian Representative level to the social weekend archer, families and individuals – archery is a sport for all!
Our club has some of the best facilities available to archers in Australia with the club facilities being available to members 7 days a week, and the depth of experience within the club is of great benefit to newer archers and those wishing to advance their skills.
We hold club shoots every Saturday and also host several tournaments throughout the year. Interested in archery?? Try one of our Beginner Classes and get involved.
