SFLAC is a longbow only archery club whose aim is to promote the use and enjoyment of traditional English longbows and warbows. We shoot in the grounds of Barlborough Hall, Barlborough, Derbyshire, J30 M1. We are two minutes from the Motorway and we are ideally situated for longbow archery in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

The area used by the Club on a day-to-day basis is in excess of 12 acres of rough grass and trees including a small wood, ideal for Roving Mark and Field Shoots. Our target field is approximately 50 yards by 180 yards (plus an extra 150 yards overshoot) and is mown every week.

Why are we different from other archery clubs?

We only shoot English longbows. Whilst most other clubs seem to shoot only in one or maybe two disciplines such as target or field archery, we ask what is wrong with other styles of archery? At Sherwood Forresters we shoot target, clout, roving, field and all forms of archery. We like to think we have put the fun back into archery and that variety is the spice of life as they say!
