About Viper
Archers

Welcome to Viper Archers
​
At Viper Archers, we believe archery is more than just a sport—it’s a community, a discipline, and a passion. Whether you are picking up a bow for the first time or you are a seasoned competitive archer, our club provides the perfect environment to hone your skills and find your focus.
​​
Our Story & Heritage
Viper Archers was formed and created back in 2018 by Chris Hadden & Geoff Smith. There is no praise or description that could credit them for what they achieved or created in the 6 years that they ran the club. Viper Archers quickly became recognised as one of the greatest clubs in the country and secured itself on every archer's favourite club list or hit list for clubs to visit.
When the lads broke the news that they were moving on to begin a new project, it shook the Archery community throughout the North East. Luckily, a trio of archers stepped up to take the reins and to ensure that the monument that is VIPER continues for years to come.
