Information

Outdoor Range

The outdoor range sits on approximately 80 acres of leased land. There is a clubhouse, picnic tables, fire pits, playground equipment and room for R.V. parking.

The club also owns many simulated animal targets for 3D shoots. Outdoor 3D shooting is available year round with three summer loops and one winter loop on our 80 beautifully wooded acres.   The loops range in size form 3.5 km to 5 km in length.

The trails are well manicured by frequent worker bees of club volunteers.  The terrain is varied offering excellent shooting opportunities from ground level and elevated platforms.  The three dimensional targets range from small animals like rabbits, porcupines, turkeys, beaver to medium sized targets which include bears, wild boars, deer, cougar, goats and alligators to our large targets like buffalo, moose, elk, grizzly bears and caribou.  The outdoor static target range offers butts from twenty to fifty yards under a covered shooting structure.

The outdoor range is open 365 days a year with access controlled by a security gate.  Indoors club times are available at the archery lanes at Trophy Book Archery.  Please check the schedule before coming out.

The outdoor range and 3D loops are located on club property on the Northeast corner of Range Road 271 and Secondary highway 633. Click here for map to the indoor & outdoor facilities.
