Archery
We offer archery for kids starting at the age of 8 through 18. During their time with us, they will learn the basics of how to shoot a bow. We provide all the equipment that they will need to use. We do allow kids to bring their bows, but it has to be approved by one of our instructors before they can use them on our range.
The Ten Commandments of Archery Safety
1. I will always treat my bow and arrows as a firearm and not point them at anything that I do not intend to shoot.
2. I will not nock may arrow or draw a bow when a person is in front of me, and I will always shoot toward a target.
3. I will never "dry" fire a bow without an arrow (pull back on a bow string with no arrow in place).
4. I will never shoot an arrow straight up.
5. I will never release an arrow where I cannot see the entire flight for the arrow.
6. I will never shoot a arrow that is too short for my draw or too weak for my bow.
7. Will not shoot at a target that is too thin to stop my arrow.
8. I will not shoot toward houses, highways, highways, livestock, or where there are people.
9. When shooting with another person, I will not go forward to retrieve my arrows until an "all clear" sign has been given. When looking for arrows beyond the target, I will set an arrow in the top of the target to warn others that I am behind the target.
10. I will not use damaged equipment, I will check arrows before shooting, for loose feather/vanes, points, and nocks, and repair before using. I will check for frayed strings and inspect arrows and bows for cracks, and destroy them if damaged in this way.
