About us
The club was started by Ian Kirkwood of Kirkmichael, who negotiated the lease of a part of Kindrogan Wood at Enochdhu, from Forest Entrprise in 1999. The gift of one archery target from a local supporter was installed in what is now the practise area. Alan Finch became the first club secretary and donated several more archery targets. Soon a small field archery course was born. In December 2002 a core of members formulated a club constitution.
The building of a field archery course was the principal goal of those involved at the start, so how to raise the required funds? Alan had a talk with Charlie Walker, organiser of outdoor events in Tayside including the Scottish Game Fair. As a result the new club agreed to create a stand at Scotland's Countryside Festival at Glamis Castle. This annual fundraising event continues to provide members with amusement and resources for improvements at course.
Strathardle saw much of the bow and arrow well into the 17th century. The Cam Ruadh was the area's most famous archer of the period and is reputed to have felled numerous cattle raiders just by the course entrance at Enochdhu.
