Our history

Since Moray Archery started we have been aiming to provide local Archers with the equipment and facilities they need to enjoy the great family sport of Archery. We've grown to become the largest provider of Archery in Moray. 

 

  • 2004: Moray Archery Was Founded as a Junior Archery Club by Andrew Kelly and Lorraine Grant.
  • 2005: We started the Junior Archery Club from Elgin High School.
  • 2007: We moved premises to Elgin Miniture Rifle Club's indoor range at Pinefield industrial estate which gave us the oppertunity to accept adults into the club.
  • 2013: We purchased land two miles outside Elgin to develop an outdoor range.
  • 2018: We started work on building a large shooting shelter so our members have the facility to shoot all year round.
  • 2022: We Hosted the Northeren area Championships which was our first world record status event. and ran a Scottish record status 720 competition.
  • 2023: We Held the Scottish Tour Stage 1, the Northern Area Championships and the Scottish Tour Finals. Hosted the Glenlivet Frostbite Competition. and changed our indoor venue to Lossiemouth Community Centre.
  • 2024: We Held the Scottish Tour Stage 1, Scottish Record Status American Competition. Hosted the Glenlivet Frostbite competition.
  • 2025: We held the Moray Archery Frostbite competition.
  •  
  • As events take a year in advance to plan due to the threat of a Quarry being built next to us we could not host any Record or World recourd status shoots in 2025 as we could not garantee a peacefull enviroment to shoot. This issue of the quarry has still not been resolved with the council and our future is uncertain. As these events need to be bid for on a two year cycle and the applications to host this shoot come out later this year. But as the matter has not been resolved by the council this year we will miss out on hosting these events untill 2028.
  • If the quarry goes ahead we might not be able to host record or world record status shoots again and the there is the possability that we will have to close down as owner of range will be forced to sell up and move.
