We have a walk through hunter and field archery range open to the membership seven days a week, dawn to dusk.

It will be available to the public for $3.00 a round on regular cab days, Thursdays 5:00 to 9:00 (or dusk) and Saturdays 10:00 to 2:00.

Nonmembers will have to go into the club house and pay the person behind the desk.

There is a waiver sheet at the start of the range in a mail box that all archers, member and nonmembers, are required to sign each time before shooting.

You should familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations for the range. They are at the bottom of this page for you to view.

We hope that everyone will enjoy this new addition to our club.

Scott Turner is in charge of an archery league. You can contact him for further information at (517) 625-7022.
