Field archery clubs that are able obtain large enough areas of woodland often put on ‘open’ shoots in which anyone with a bow and arrows can compete. How often a club holds these is largely dependant on the interest within the club and the availability of willing labour. Putting on a shoot is hard work and requires a large degree of dedication from able-bodied members, as carrying heavy target bosses around woodland and possibly through undergrowth for a day becomes very testing. However any club that puts on well organised shoots over a good, interesting ground can be sure of attracting a large active membership. The hard work continues on the day of the shoot as members are needed for administration and course marshals.

Cheshire Oak Bowmen exists to foster and promote Field Archery as a sport in which archers enjoy themselves by shooting at inanimate objects of suitable sizes, placed at distances unknown to the archers, set in natural undulating terrain populated by trees and shrubbery.

Cheshire Oak Bowmen believes that Field Archery should provide as much pleasure as possible in the practice of the sport, all courses should be constructed with this in mind.
