About Us, About ArcheryThe Grange Company of Target Archers Inc started in 1947 and is the oldest and largest target archery club in Queensland. The club operates a target field and Indoor Archery Facility (A joint initiative of Moreton Bay Regional Council and Queensland Government) at Samford Archery Park in the Samford Parklands just north of Samford Village. We have a very family friendly approach, great social atmosphere and some very serious competitors aiming for international representation. The club invites memberships from a range of abilities and memberships range from 10 years to eighty plus. Archery is a sport that almost anyone can participate in, including many disabled. You don’t have to have any particular physical attribute to become good at the sport so come along and have a go...its great fun and the company is very friendly! Archery can be enjoyed at a social level, as a self-improvement discipline or for the competitively minded at club, state, national, international and Olympic level. Visitors if not a member of Archery Australia must take out temporary membership.

Grange Company of Target Archery in 2011Hi Archers, The club calendar for 2011 is on the club's web site. In addition to the regular weekly events and hosted Tournaments, the club runs several annual awards based on the accumulation of points from monthly events. Below you will find the description of these competitions for 2011. The Silver Arrow club competition is a new award for 2011. I have also attached the distances that are shot by the various divisions in the Silver Arrow competition. I would encourage all archers to consider shooting these events even our newer archers, they are a great learning experience and very much help develop your archery. Cheers Brian
