Your membership fees are the main way through which we fund the upkeep and improvement of the archery range and facilities, so we're grateful for your support and appreciate everyone who renews their membership earlier in the year so we can ensure a healthy outlook for the year's budget.

If you've had issues with targets that no longer stop your arrows, consider coming out to our upcoming Work Party to help install these new bales and make shoot-throughs a thing of the past!

These bales are projected to last as long as two years on lesser-used targets, and many times longer than our previous bales on even the busiest targets. Once installed, these will significantly reduce the amount of work needed to maintain the range.
