The outdoor range sits on approx. 80 acres of beautifully wooded leased land. There is a clubhouse, picnic tables, fire pits, playground equipment, and room for RV parking. Outdoor shooting on the static range and 3D loops is available year round. In summer, three 3D loops are open that vary in size from 3.5-5 km in length, and in the winter one 3D loop is maintained. Traditional and Compound Bows only – No Crossbows or Broadheads.

Be aware of wildlife at Outdoor Range
On the weekend of our 3D shoot, an Antelope 3D target in A loop was “attacked” by what would appear to be a cougar based on claw/bite marks. We want to remind members that wildlife is always present at the outdoor range, and to be careful in that regards.
Range Clean Up
We are in the process of cleaning up the range and getting rid of a lot of old garbage. A huge “Thank You” to Lyle at Calahoo Waste for accommodating our needs and providing the necessary dumpsters for us to use on short notice!
