About Us

The Break O"Day Field Archery Club was Founded in 2010 and is located in beautiful St Helens on the East Coast of Tasmania. We offer archers a picturesque bush land experience for bow hunting. We are the largest ABA club in Tasmania, being the only ABA club that has a double competition range.

In late 2019 The Break O'Day Traditional Archery Club was founded. This club is situated in the same location but has a focus on traditional archery skills in a field setting and is supported by Traditional Archery Australia. However, we still encourage all types of bow users. We have a very strong relationship with another TAA Club in Burnie - Loxley Archers.

The Break O'Day Field Archery Club Incorporated is supported by the Tasmanian Government.  See "Grants" for further details.
