Outdoor Range
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.
News and Announcements
Range Freshly Mowed!
The range has been freshly mowed for our members! Still a few wet spots on some of the 3D loops due to the unbelievable amount of rain this summer, so wear appropriate footwear 🙂 “C” Loop has been taken down. “A” and “B” loops will remain up until later in the fall.
Be aware of Skunks!
On Saturday July 6/19, a family of skunks was noticed nesting under the white metal shed near the picnic area. Please take precautions, and keep dogs and children away from this area to avoid getting sprayed. Pink duct tape has been posted on the shed.
3D Shoot Scores Posted!
The shoot scores have been posted from June 22/23rd. You can view them on our “Events” page! Thank you to all the archers who came out to the shoot! You guys are awesome 🙂
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!
Static Range Update
New 4’x4′ static range targets have been fully installed! Please note that all targets have been covered with a heavy duty tarp to protect them from the sun and weather. These tarps are easy to flip back out of the way before shooting at the targets. Members are asked to ensure the tarps are set
