Deer Park Archers have two more trophies to add to their packed trophy cabinet.
They beat clubs from around Britain to win the coveted Archery GB's ontarget Club of the Year award.
And 16-year-old Liza Hadley added Young Volunteer of the Year to the haul – only a day after being named Gloucester Young Person of the Year.
Club development officer Roger Crang accepted the awards during a development seminar at Archery GB's headquarters at the Lilleshall National Sports Centre.
He said: "The club of the year award is such an honour not just because it was from our own governing body but because we were up against members of so many outstanding clubs all of whom have achieved amazing things."
Deer Park Archers, based at Girlguiding Gloucestershire Training and Activity Centre, Cowley, has 18 coaches and averages more than 50 archers at every session in each of its venues.
It has achieved Archery GB specialist status for its work with the community, young people and performance and has three coaches who have been selected to work with some of Britain's brightest archery talents.
Sixteen of its coaches either run or support after-school clubs.
It won the 2012 Sport and Recreation Alliance Volunteer Management Award, organised the Level Three Archery School Games Championships and hosted the opening ceremony of the 2012 Gloucestershire Media Sports Awards.
Arran Coggan, Archery GB's national club development co-ordinator, said: "These ontarget awards draw attention to our wonderful volunteers and clubs who are making archery happen.
"It was a hard decision to choose the winners and well done to Deer Park and Liza and to all who were nominated."
