If you know of anyone with expertise in designing,
building and maintaining archery ranges, ArrowSport
wants to hear from you.
If you or someone you know has experience in designing
and/or building archery ranges, ArrowSport needs your
help. Here’s why: Our No. 1 objective for increasing
archery participation is to ensure people have places to
shoot. To reach that goal, our No. 1 objective is to
help organizations build and maintain archery ranges.
To accomplish that goal efficiently and expertly, we’re
compiling and organizing all the information currently
available on range design and construction. This
information will become part of a “guidebook” for
archery ranges, and it will be used to encourage state
agencies, local departments, and archery and bowhunting
organizations to develop, refurbish and improve ranges.
As part of this process we’re also gathering and
organizing layouts, designs and construction techniques
for all types of archery ranges.
The guidebook will include everything from small
practice ranges to full-service archery complexes that
contain 3D, FITA, field and indoor ranges. We’re
especially interested in information on projects or
ranges where archery has been incorporated into existing
trap, skeet or sporting clays ranges.
In addition to range information, we want to know who
has expertise in developing and managing archery ranges.
We need the names and contact information for
individuals or companies that have planned, constructed
and/or remodeled and refurbished these ranges. This kind
of expertise is in short supply, and so we’re seeking
people willing to offer their services to help us create
more and better places for archers and bowhunters to
shoot.
If you have archery range drawings, plans, layout or
construction information, or if you have expertise in
building and managing archery ranges, please contact
