About Hastings Valley Archery Club

Hastings Valley Archery Club is located on the beautiful Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia, nestled between the townships of Port Macquarie and Wauchope.

We are a non-profit organization, registered with the Office of Fair Trading, and accredited as a Hunter LEAP Provider under clause 12 of the Game and Feral Animal Control Regulation 2012 by the NSW Department of Primary Industries Game Licensing Unit. You can view the club’s Rules of Association document here.

Our Mission and Values

At Hastings Valley Archery Club, our main goal is to promote archery as a family-oriented sport for all ages and genders. While we appreciate the competitive side of archery, we place a strong emphasis on the social and fun aspects of the sport.

We are proud to foster a safe and inclusive environment where members can enjoy archery in a supportive and dynamic community. Encouraging our junior archers is particularly important to us, as we believe in nurturing their skills and enthusiasm in a fun and engaging setting.

Where We Operate

We are fortunate to operate on NSW State Forest land under a permit provided by the Forestry Corporation of NSW. Visit the Forestry Corporation’s website for more information about visiting state forests, or follow the ‘Visit NSW Forests’ Facebook page for updates.

Our range is conveniently located just minutes down the Pacific Highway on the Wauchope side, at the corner of Burrawan Forest Drive & Cowarra Access Road - opposite the Go-Kart Track.
