Nethermoss Archers were first formed in 1958 as part of the Sports & Social Club of English Electric, Netherton, Bootle. The Club’s name is taken from the effigy of a Knight thought to be the Knight of Netherton Moss, Sir Richard Molyneux circa 1270 that is situated in Sefton St Helen's Church.

On the closure of English Electric, the Club moved to several locations before settling at Hurlston Hall, Scarisbrick after gaining funding from Sport England and a grant from the LCC Community Chest. This move ensured uninterrupted shooting throughout the summer. During the winter months, October to April, the Club shoots indoors at the Wilson Sports Hall, Edge Hill University, Ormskirk.

On the 24th September 2010, the club was granted the prestigious 'Clubmark' award.

Over our long history, club members have achieved many successes, these include:

• ​​Three Olympic competitors attending four separate Olympic Games.
• Three Great Britain Team Managers.
• Senior and Junior Great Britain National Squad Members.
• Ladies and Gents Lancashire Champions.
• Junior and Senior County Squad Team Members.
• ​Holders of County and National Records.
