About Us
Archways TDH was started by experienced senior Archery GB coach Tom Clint, to provide an archer-focused, peer-supportive and development-centred environment for archery training.
What do we do?
- Offer twice weekly, low cost, group coaching sessions open to all current Archery GB members.
- Treat archers as individuals, working collaboratively with you to develop a flexible plan for your development.
- Adopt a comprehensive 'hub' approach to archery improvement, with our coaches and other local professionals having training and experience in personal training, sports psychology, physiotherapy, food sciences, sports massage and more.
- Encourage and support you to use structured goal-setting to be accountable for reviewing and monitoring your progress.
- Run workshops on aspects of archery training and improvement, such as organising your training, maintaining your equipment, preparing for competitions and much more.

What don't we do?
- We don't replace your current club, coach or shooting routine. Rather, we aim to work with and enhance any existing coaching and training support you have.
- We don't offer club memberships. We prioritise a coaching-based service and archers can come to our shoots as little or as often as you need. We are, however, affiliated as a club for insurance purposes.
- We don't (yet) offer beginners courses, but are happy to point you in the direction of your local club. New archers may find Archery GB's Start Archery minisite useful for finding beginners' courses and introductory information about archery.
- We aren't a place to shoot purely recreationally. Our shoots prioritise the coaching environment and encourage active engagement with your own and others' improvement in a supportive atmosphere.

Where and when do we shoot?
Our range is at Padworth Village Hall, off the A4 between Reading and Newbury (near Junction 12 of the M4). There is convenient access by road, train and bus, and parking at the hall is free.
We shoot on the football pitch at the hall on Thursday evenings & Sunday mornings in the warmer months (April-October). For the remainder of the year we shoot inside the hall on Tuesday evenings and continue our outdoor shoots on Sunday mornings.
