We are attracting more and more like-minded men and women who are interested in the use of bow and arrow. In addition to sporting goals, we are particularly interested in youth work and motivation for this beautiful sport.
and demanding sport is very important.
The Vettelschoß Archery Team has existed since 2003. Starting out as a 10-person interest group in 2001 at the Vettelschoß shooting club, SV Vettelschoß has grown into a proud group of over 150 athletes of all ages. Children are especially fond of this sport. Each of us knows the joy and excitement of archery from our own childhood and youth. We also have many families with young and older children as members.
While the common denominator is archery itself, it encompasses a wide variety of styles: From the technically sophisticated "compound bows" with sights, to the "recurve bows" with and without sights more familiar from Olympic sports, to the traditional "longbows" made of laminated wood, typical of "instinctive archers," with equally stylish, naturally fletched arrows in back quivers, all facets of archery can be practiced. The goal is for each interested person to discover their own preferred way of handling bow and arrow. There are no limits to personal development in the great outdoors, with targets on the field, or, for example, with one's own equipment while out and about, aiming at 3D targets (lifelike animal models made of special plastic) on a specially designed hiking course at other clubs in the forest and fields.
If we've piqued your interest, we cordially invite you to our regular Sunday meetings at our archery facility to experience the joy of launching an arrow and watching it hit its target. Our naturally enclosed facility, located on a basalt plateau in the forest about 100 meters west of the clubhouse on Willscheider Berg, is in use year-round. It's illuminated and can be used by members outside of official hours at any time of day, weekdays or weekends. This allows members with irregular work schedules to enjoy our wonderful sport. Parking is available at the "Clubhouse on Willscheider Berg" (see also Google Maps).
Archery is a clean and quiet leisure activity for young and old that promotes concentration and is even recommended by doctors for postural problems. Compared to other sports, it is very flexible in its forms and can be practiced individually without much effort.
The archery department also presents itself on its own homepage:
