Chippenham Archers

About Us

The club was originally founded in 1955 when it was known as 'The Bowmen of Cyppa' - Cyppa is the Anglo Saxon name from which Chippenham (settlement of Cyppa's people) gets its name.

Later the name was changed to the Phoenix Archers but for many years, we have been known as Chippenham Archers.

As a club we shoot all styles of bow from Olympic Recurve, Compound and Longbow through to the simple Primitive Bows similar to the 4,500 year old Meare Heath bow

This site contains information about Chippenham Archers - an archery club which actively promotes the ancient, absorbing and addictive sport of Archery in all its varied forms.

The club is both a target and field club shooting outdoors at a range near to Chippenham and Indoors during the winter at Azimghur Barracks, near Colerne, between Chippenham and Bath.

We hope you enjoy this site and welcome your feedback.

Good Shooting!
