Spring Archery League: A Community of Fun and Friendly Competition

Our members-only archery league provides the perfect balance of club atmosphere and competition. Whether you're new to archery or an experienced archer, the League is a great way to meet fellow archers, share tips, and build a supportive community. All skill levels and ages are welcome!

League Structure:
The Spring Archery League runs for 6 consecutive weeks. League nights are held every Thursday from 5pm-7pm. Each week, participants will fill out a scorecard when they come to the range. At the end of the season, scores will be tallied, and winners in each division and class will be announced during the award night.

Flexibility for Your Schedule:
Shoot at your convenience! You can complete your scorecard any time during the League week (Wednesday-Sunday), so it’s easy to fit archery into your busy schedule.

Scoring:
Final scores for the League will be based on your top 4 scores, with your two lowest scores being dropped. This allows you to improve over the season and still have a shot at a high rank!
