Our course

Our course can be found at Middle Rixdale Farm, Chudliegh, Newton Abbot, Devon TQ13 0BW off the Teignmouth Road that runs from the A380. The course consists of 40 3D targets laid out in pairs on our grounds (see map above), there are 26 of them in the woods and the remainder in the wild flower meadows through which you pass to enter the woods. You enter the course through the open gate where you leave your tag on the tag board. Pass through the field, heading left towards the first target pair on peg 1. Then follow the mown paths through the field to pegs 2 and then through the fence to pegs 3 and then left across the field to 4 and 5. You then enter the woods at target peg 6 and follow the paths through the woods until you reach peg 19 on the far right of the course and come out of the woods towards peg 20 and from there through the fence and back to the entrance to the course. Maps for the course can be found with the sign in book in the enclosure on the side of the barn.

Please be aware that minor changes are made regularly to the course, changing the position of a target, or changing the actual 3D targets in use.

Visitors

 We welcome visitors to use the course however you must be a full member of the NFAS to shoot the course.

Visitors Enclosure on side of barn

On parking in the car park you will find a sign in book on the side of the barn together with details of how to enter the course. Please use the book to give us your name and NFAS membership number and please leave the sign in time and the time you leave the course in the book for your own safety. There is a honesty box by the sign in book for you to leave the fee (currently £5.00) for using the course or you can pay at Rixdale Archery Shop on the road outside the course.

Tag Board at entrance to woods

We use a tag system, found with the visitors book to identify those on the course and provide visitor tags for you to use on the tag board by the gate into the main course (or woods).

Please be aware that we are open seven days a week and there may well be other archers shooting at the same time.

There is a toilet and rest area at the mid point of the course just past the pegs for target 9.  

In line with NFAS rules you must have your NFAS membership card and a whistle with you at all times whilst on our course and may be asked to show the card by members of the club. Visitors should also make themselves aware of the clubs own rules regarding shooting on our course before they enter the course.

If you need to leave the course early please take great care as the only safe way is to follow the target pegs around from 1 to 18, as crossing the field on the way out would mean walking across a live shooting area.
