Yes. "Archery as Therapy" is central to our mission. The focus, controlled breathing, and time outdoors help many veterans manage stress, and our events emphasize personal progress over competition. You'll be among fellow veterans, active-duty members, and supportive civilians, and many people arrive alone and leave with new connections.
Definitely. Kids 12 and under shoot free with a paid adult registration, and kid-size rental gear is available. Bring the whole family.
Yes! Spectators can walk the entire course free of charge. We just ask that everyone follow the safety rules and staff instructions.
Walk-ups are accepted, but we strongly encourage online registration. It speeds up check-in and secures your preferred start time (your "nock time"). Walk-up archers are placed in open start-time groups as space allows.
Bringing your own gear: your bow (compound, recurve, or traditional), plenty of arrows (the courses are tough on arrows, even for experienced bowhunters), binoculars and/or a rangefinder, hiking boots, water, and snacks. We recommend bright or reflective clothing.
Need gear? A full rental package is $15 and includes a bow (adult or kid size), 6 arrows, an arm guard, and a hip quiver. It's great for new archers and for friends who want to join you. Just tell staff you're new and we'll handle the setup. Rentals are in addition to event registration.
Either way, bring a good attitude and a sense of adventure.
Welcoming for beginners, but still exciting for experienced archers. Expect creative shot scenarios, a wide variety of targets, and our exclusive moving targets. We also mix in novelty shots like busting clay pigeons with an arrow, tic-tac-toe, the swinging "ball of doom," and 5-card archery stud.
Yes. Shoot from wherever you feel confident, and members of the same group can shoot from different distances. Just stay between the marked shooting cone and the target cone.
No. Crossbow bolts cause excessive wear on our 3D targets and are hard to remove, which slows the course for everyone.
