Join us on the archery range for a variety of competitions, fun shoots, classes, workshops — and lots of siege weapons!
Our archery activities are available to newcomers and experienced members alike, age 5 and up.
Archery Range Safety Rules
1. Youths 5-17: a parent or authorized adult (with paperwork complete) must be present when shooting on the range (Kingdom Law).
2. Only bows and arrows which have passed the safety inspection may be used on the range. Bring bows unstrung to be inspected. Approved bows will receive a marker for the weekend.
3. Archers will need 6 arrows, or we can lend the necessary supply so as not to delay shooting line during the competitions and Royal Rounds
4. The marshal’s job is to maintain safety. Archers and spectators must follow their directions.
5. Marshals running the line and scorekeepers will be identified by colored baldrics.
6. Spectators are very welcome!
7. For safety, stay 10 feet behind shooting line while not shooting.
Range Setup – Help is WELCOME just before each shoot and after it ends, to bring in the targets. Come a bit early, stay a bit late, lend a hand.
During Monday Teardown please come VOLUNTEER time to pack up the range. Thanks!
