Club membership is open to University of Bristol students, with others being considered on a case by case basis by the committee.
To shoot with the club, all archers (barring Guest Archers) must have club membership and the SEH Access Pass:
- SEH Access Pass
- Club Membership - this is broken down into four categories, see below.
In addition, non-University of Bristol students will need to purchase Associate Student Union membership. Non-student members must contact the committee before purchasing membership.

There is also a per session fee, more information on this can be found here.
For people wishing to join the sport for the first time, you will need to attend one of our beginners' courses. These normally run in September/October and January/February. You do not need club membership for the duration of the course but will need to have paid the beginners' course fee.
