• When does my membership expire?

  Our memberships are ANNUAL and based on the calendar year. Your membership must be renewed every year. If you do not renew your membership, you will not receive the new gate combination to access the range.

• Can I use a rangefinder at an unmarked shoot?

  Please check with the officers when you are signing in to a tournament. Generally speaking, if you are a new shooter and would like to use a rangefinder, you can as long as you and everyone in your group does not shoot for an award (i.e., no one from your group may place in any class). If you do so, please talk quietly amongst yourselves so other groups cannot hear the yardage. There may be some shoots where rangefinders are absolutely not allowed.

• Are crossbows allowed at the range or during tournaments?

  No, crossbows are not allowed at our archery range.
