Archery

Our club has a very nice archery range located immediately to your left as you enter the club property. Our archery discipline has grown much over the past year, and it continues to grow as we meet new archers in our community, and as more club members show interest in the different archery sports.

We currently have a regular monthly match on the 4th Saturday of each month at 10:00 AM. We also have a 600 League each Wednesday during daylight savings time at 6:00 PM. We will continue to add new archery matches and events as participation increases. All of our matches are open to the general public. You do not have to be a member to participate in a match!

Club members who have completed the special archery range orientation may use the archery range at any time along with their family and guests.

For archery range orientation, or for more information on our archery range and archery activities, please contact archery discipline director.  His contact information is under the contact tab above, listed under Range Qualification.

Archery FAQ

How can I get involved in Archery?

You do not need to participate in matches to enjoy the sport with us at CFRPC. Our archery range is open the same hours as the rest of the range, but reserved for matches on those occasions. Range membership and an archery range qualification allows use of the archery field anytime the range is open. For local 4th Saturday matches, just show up, register for the match with the appropriate fee, fill out a waiver if you are a guest/non-member, then pick up a score card and pen. If you feel like helping out, we currently use our own block and 3-D targets and pin standardized NFAA target faces to the blocks for scoring. So you may bring your own block, but be aware all of the rest of the participants will be using it during the match. (3-D targets have rings on them we use for scoring.) For Regional/National competitions sanctioned by the NFAA, we plan to purchase competition standard targets when the Discipline has raised enough money through its local matches or donations. Until then we will use the standardized scoring faces pinned to blocks brought by participants. Please note that you do not need NFAA membership to participage in local CFRPC Club matches on 4th Saturdays. However, NFAA membership is required for State, Regional and National match competitions. Future range improvement plans include an elevated stand for practicing from tree-stand heights, formal instruction for competition, and classes on tree stand use and hunter safety.

Where can I learn more?

Feel free to call or leave messages at one of the two telephone numbers listed for Mr. Ken Geis or Mr. Mike Anker on the Archery Contact page. Mike is also a certified archery instructor. We both work and sometimes travel but will reply as soon as we get the opportunity. Or you can also use our email addresses on the Contact page.

Archery Match Info

When are regular matches held?

Regular monthly matches are the held on the 4th Saturday each month except for November and December. Also, matches are periodically canceled during deer hunting season.

 

During daylight savings time there is a  “600 League” match each Wednesday evening at 5:30 PM. The 600 match usually takes 2 hours to complete.

 

NFAA National Competition schedule is TBD by NFAA and will be posted when it is received.

What are the Match Fees?

CFRPC member – $5

Non-member – $15

Children under 12 – Free

What time does the match begin?

Regular match registration opens at 9:30 AM, and the match begins at 10:00 AM.

600 League match registrsation begins at 5:00 PM, and the match begins at 5:30.

How long does the match last?

A regular monthly match will usually last about four hours, until 2:00 PM.  Sometimes we stay and practice until 3:00 PM.  When the match ends in the afternoon, the range returns to normal use for members and their guests.

 

A 600 League match takes about 2 hours to shoot.

How many arrows do I need?

Regular matches will typically require four arrows.  We NEVER use broadheads, either mechanical or fixed, during practice or competition.  They cut the targets too quickly and are dangerous.  Please bring only field pointed arrows for competition or practice.  After the teams have left, when everything is finished, you may use broadheads on your own targets for your own practice.

You may shoot crossbows, longbows, recurves, compounds, etc.  If it is a bow, you may bring it.  Be prepared to lose one or two in the grass; we usually help one another search for lost arrows.  We normally shoot 20 rounds over 4 or 5 lanes with a lunch break halfway through near noon.

 

5 arrows are required for the 600 League. However, bring a few extra arrows in case you miss the targets. We do not stop to look for arrows during a match.

What else do I need?

We suggest bringing your own food and drinks, especially water during the hot summer season.
