The Company of Sixty is a long-established field archery club, in beautiful Surrey woodland, close to the M25/A3.

Company of Sixty was founded in 1973 in the 'sixty acre wood' behind Chessington Zoo in Surrey (hence the name Company of Sixty). In those days the club gave the land owner a 'liquid' Christmas present for the use of the woods. In 1988 the whole estate went into trust, and the new trustees leased the woods to a paintball company for a lot more than few drinks, which the club could not afford compete with.

After losing the woods at Chessington the club looked for new grounds. Eventually Carol Edwards and her father Jim wrote to HRH Prince Charles, who at the time was interested in the raising of the 'Mary Rose', which was found to contain a treasure trove of traditional archery equipment, including medieval longbows.

Much to the amazement of the club. instructions were sent to the Crown Estate office in Windsor to give the club the use of 100 acres of woodland in Oxshott Surrey, to be used by members 365 days of the year, where the club is still based.

The club runs ten to twelve friendly shoots per year, plus four open shoots.

All NFAS Classes are shot with the exception of Crossbow (by order of our landlord).
