Introduction:

The Black Dog Archers club was set up to promote and develop the pastime of field archery, we are based in Carrigaline co Cork.
We shoot every weekend as well as holding training workshops twice a month
As a field Archery Club we emphasise all styles of bow from the primitive to the high tech.
We have an international level 18 target mixed 2D / 3D course that is laid out in a trail within our woods.
We host run a hunter trail of 18 3 D targets on a more informal basis once a month or so .
We also practise in the ancient game of clout shooting ( Shoting at a Cloth Flag at a distance of 180 yrds ) a very impressive sight.
We are recognised by I.F.A.F , Irish Field Archery Association which is affiliated to International Field Archery Association . This allows our members participate in both national and international Field Archery events.
