This is a family business, started in Battersea in London in 1973 by Rose and Tom Foy. They were both keen archers, and Tom was a Master Bowman and County Coach for six consecutive years. He won the London Championship and the Masters' Tournament, and started two clubs, the Crystal Palace Bowmen and the Hawkhurst Hundred. In 1985 Tom was asked to organise a shoot to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the building of Bodiam Castle, and this was so successful that the idea took off and the idea of medieval shoots spread all over the country.

So that they can have more spare time and start going to shoots again, Rose and Tom have decided to change their business to mail order only and going to meetings when asked. They are also going to drop all the high-tech stuff and concentrate on the more traditional side of archery, for they believe that as technology comes in, the fun goes out. If you agree, this is the place for you!
