Next Laois Archery Shoot
Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th of May
Field & Hunter
Well folks, we’re back at it for 2025! Our first shoot of the year is a two-day Field & Hunter round.
Both rounds will be 2×14, so you’ll get to know our woods pretty well! We’ll be using both courses on both days, and splitting up archers based on style – don’t ask us which day is which, we probably won’t know until the night before.
There’s a pre-registration link below, and if possible it would be great of you to use that so we can get a head start with groups and splitting, but make sure to still head up to the cabin to check in when you arrive – it lets us know you’re actually there, so we don’t have to make any last minute adjustments!
We’ll be holding registration/check-in & bow check from 9-9:30, and shooting from 10 sharp, so make sure you’re in good time to get those chats in before we head out!
Same as always folks, there’s no camping at the woods, so you’ll have to make other arrangements if you’re looking to stay the night. However, we have recently gotten the parking area re-gravelled, so there’s plenty of space for cars with a much lower risk of mud!
Fees:
Adult 2 Day: €15
Adult 1 Day: €10
Child 2 Day: €7.50
Child 1 Day: €5
Child 1 Day: €5
We’ve actually gotten ourselves a little card reader folks, so we accept all forms of payment. We can even accept pre-payment now, so if you’re looking for that just contact us and we can send you a link.
Facilities:

Tea, coffee, and biscuits provided, but please bring a travel mug if possible!
