The City of Belfast Archery Club, COB, was founded in 1986 and our outdoor and field grounds are to be found at Boucher Road in Belfast, just off the M1 (Junction 2). We also have an indoor facility on North Street in Belfast (behind Castlecourt shopping centre.) We are affiliated to the Northern Ireland Archery Society and the Grand National Archery Society (GNAS).

Recurve, compound, longbow and novice archers are welcome to join, however "novice archers" must have successfully completed a beginners course run by COB or another GNAS affiliated club.

Archery is a truly unique sport that blends competitive elements within a social atmosphere and this is no more apparent than at the City of Belfast. To say the craic is mighty is the understatement of the year, and for those that want a bit of craic this is the club for you. Notwithstanding that we take our archery very seriously with a number of archers in the club on the GB, Ireland and Northern Ireland Squads and the competitive spirit is very strong within the club. We currently have 4 GNAS qualified coaches within the club, who will assist you develop your skills and we work extremely closely with NIAS squad coaches to develop talent to a higher level.

The club regularly hosts local, regional and international competitions in target, clout and field archery. The club is also very proud of our links with SportNI and Belfast City Council and we thanks them for their support and assistance.
