The Cumbria County Archery Team Squad brings together top archers from across the county, representing Cumbria in Recurve, Barebow, and Compound disciplines. Selected for their skill, dedication, and sportsmanship, our squad competes in inter-county and regional events throughout the year. Each discipline plays a key role in the team’s overall success, and we take pride in the strength and versatility of our archers. Whether aiming for the podium or supporting fellow teammates, the Cumbria squad is united by a shared passion for archery.
The County team is chosen from scores submitted and then availability – so keep sending your scores and put the dates in your diaries and keep them free. Remember – if you don’t make the team this time you can still help out and offer encouragement and assistance to those that do.
This years Squad Days will be announced later in the year.
Throughout the year the County runs Squad days. These are open to anyone who aspires to shoot for the County. The Squad Days give an opportunity for further training and advice from a range of sources, a chance to meet others from all the county clubs who you may end up shooting with if you are picked for the team and a chance for further practice for the Inter County Shoots. The outdoor sessions will end with a competition to see if you can set a new County record.
Squad Days are free to attend. Speak to your club coach to find out if the Squad Days are suitable for you.
