About Bogensportclub ATALANTA

Bogensportclub ATALANTA is a young archery club in Pottenstein in the Triestingtal, founded on 4 June 2025. Shooting takes place on a ground of around 1,300 square metres in the Friedenssiedlung, and in winter in the Raimundhalle in Pottenstein – beginners are just as welcome as experienced archers.

A ground built by the members

In 2025 the site in the Friedenssiedlung was still overgrown. The members cleared it themselves, put the fallen fence back up, built target stands, welded stands for the safety nets, laid a paved shooting line of exposed aggregate concrete slabs, and built an eco toilet and a tool shed. The ground was opened on 2 August 2025, and a new garden shed was added at the club celebration in June 2026.

Training times

• In summer on the ground: Monday and Thursday 17 to 18 h
• In winter in the Raimundhalle Pottenstein: Saturday 17 to 18 h and Sunday 9:30 to 10:30
• Also: training by arrangement

You can arrange other times – for a taster session, for example – by phone or e-mail. Members take the "Safety First" test, which certifies that they are ready to shoot on the range. President Franz Toth has completed the training as an instructor (basic and special course). In July 2025 the club held its first training session with a visually impaired para athlete, with a pole serving as an orientation aid.
