About Archery Insurance
Archery insurance for clubs, ranges and activity venues
Archery insurance is designed for archery clubs, target ranges, activity centres, outdoor leisure sites, schools, community venues and sports operators where members, visitors or groups take part in supervised archery.
These venues often need a more specific conversation than a standard sports facility because insurers will want to understand range layout, shooting lines, backstops, overshoot areas, supervision, coaching, junior sessions, equipment checks, storage, events and how incidents are recorded.
Use this page to review cover, pricing and insurer appetite for archery insurance, and use the sports facility insurance page if the enquiry also involves adjacent venue types, cover options or risk issues.
