That the walk through course in Kenmore? Used to live about five minutes from that place, if thats where you were. Looks like a good time for all.

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #2 on:** June 28, 2009, 07:34:05 PM »

Nope, its a private course members only.

Looks like the course just outside of Enumclaw?

jackelope · « **Reply #4 on:** June 28, 2009, 08:03:54 PM »

Looks like fun!! Wish there was a range & course like that around here.

NW-GSP · « **Reply #7 on:** June 28, 2009, 08:42:20 PM »

what was the distance you were shooting? looked to be pretty far down range

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #8 on:** June 28, 2009, 09:46:25 PM »

Send me a PM if you are really interested in joining.
I have been to a lot of courses and ranges and this one is by far the best ive ever been to.
oh and the distances range from 100 yards to 5 yards....
i usually only shoot 40 and closer.

You must be kidding! This is not your honey hole, it's an archery range! Pay it forward, it goes a long way...

jackelope · « **Reply #11 on:** June 28, 2009, 10:54:17 PM »

i don't understand the secret either...??

free advertising for what looks like a great range.

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #12 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:43:15 AM »

OK boys!

I was just being cautious that's all. You guys know how this site can be at times.

i meant nothing by it.

I'm sure they would love some new members.
I'm actually very surprised that you guys haven't heard of this place. I'm sure some of you have heard of this place though.
I have been to, and researched a lot of ranges and places to shoot and this one is by far the best.
Very clean, very kept up, very challenging and a great area to shoot.

CEDAR RIVER BOWMEN CLUB......
http://www.cedarriverbowmen.net/

Cedar River Bowmen is proud to be the oldest continuously operating Archery Club in Washington State. Started in the early 1950’s, Cedar River Bowmen was originally founded in Issaquah but was relocated to our present day site approximately eight years ago.

Nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in the shadow of Mt. Rainier on 42 acres of timbered land just south of Black Diamond, Washington, we offer many hard-to-find amenities for a club of our size. We have four permanent, year-round walk-through courses with at least 14 targets on each course. Two of these are animal courses and two are field courses. The walk-through courses offer some of the most varied terrain around with shots over water, up hills, down hills and from elevated shooting platforms. Our walk-through courses are large enough to allow the Course Captains’ wide discretion in target placement thus ensuring each 3-D tournament is a unique experience.

Our members can also shoot indoors in our clubhouse during poor weather or instruct the young or beginning archer in a private setting. Rich in tradition, Cedar River Bowmen offers exclusive, private access for our members and families 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each member has a key to our clubhouse, gates, and ranges.

We are proud to host a variety of large archery events each year, including our “signature” event the last weekend of each July. Our annual “Bownanza” tournament is a three-day extravaganza with over $10,000 in door prizes, raffles and money dots. We also have a variety of other shooting events including smoker and night shoots. “Bownanza” is considered to be the premiere 3-D tournament by many in the Pacific Northwest.

In addition to our ability to host major northwest shoots, Cedar River Bowmen also boasts quiet, private and serene settings among the evergreens, and a quiet escape from day to day life. We offer primitive camping facilities, a playground area for kids, picnic areas, and a place where families or groups can get away, as well as share their love for the sport of archery.

Whether it's time to practice, compete in a 3D tournament, or to sight in your bow for hunting season, Cedar River Bowmen is the place to be. Come see what Cedar River Bowmen can offer you and your family. You’ll be glad you did!

Go sign up today its a great place to spend the weekend.

have fun guys!

Todd_ID · « **Reply #16 on:** June 29, 2009, 09:28:48 AM »

I've been to 4 different IBO shoots there in the last 2 years, and, for me, I'd have to say it's my least favorite place to shoot because of the range-judging in the tunnels but my most favorite because of the people. They've got the nicest flat range that I've seen in the NW with great bales and covered shooting. They put out a lot of money for the good bales several years ago throughout the course. The cool thing is that they do a little more each year, so it'll be a destination-type range for shoots someday soon. If I lived anywhere near there, then I wouldn't hesitate to become a member.

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #17 on:** June 29, 2009, 09:41:00 AM »

I will only be going there for personal use....so it just right for me :-)

Member's and new members is what keeps Cedar River and Clubs alike alive. Without members and new incoming members, the course wouldnt have new targets, cleared shooting lanes, and the manpower to keep everything going. You do not have to have a sponsor or invitation to join the club anyone can be a member, and I suggest to everyone to join your local club and keep the tradition alive! Support your local archery club!!!!!!

Ray · « **Reply #22 on:** June 29, 2009, 10:50:57 AM »

Their prices looks competitive. Much cheaper than getting a membership at kenmore for strictly archery use which is something like 300 dollars a year

The range looks good. Too bad it's an hour away.

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #23 on:** June 29, 2009, 12:48:34 PM »

Its really not as far as you think it is....
I live in totem lake it it took about 1.15 to get there.
They have a very resonable price to join and its pro rated so if you sign up now its only 60+ bucks or something until jan.
the best part is its open when you can go. 24-7-365
Join up guys its really a great place.
AND i wanted to add that they also have FREE camping for family's that is very useful....

WDFW-SUX · « **Reply #24 on:** June 29, 2009, 12:51:18 PM »

God im glad i joined kennmore when it was less than 100 bucks

Ray · « **Reply #25 on:** June 29, 2009, 02:59:38 PM »

Actually it is as far as I think. That's the problem.

I stand corrected. Kenmore is 325 dollars for new members. While they have nice faciliites, it simply is not that nice unless they are serving me a dinner every time I show up.

it's actually further than i thought it would be.
1.15 hours from where?

jackelope · « **Reply #28 on:** June 29, 2009, 03:08:58 PM »

kenore actually makes you buy a chamber flag now when you go there to shoot rifles. they require that you use it.
you can keep the one and reuse it next time, but if you forget it or lose it, you'll buy another one.

WDFW-SUX · « **Reply #29 on:** June 29, 2009, 03:17:49 PM »

I thought the flags were free...

jackelope · « **Reply #30 on:** June 29, 2009, 03:20:38 PM »

i paid...

couldn't have been too much.

I just got into archery so 40 yards is pushing it for me, I can hit the target at 40 but just not with much accuracy.
looks like a sweet range though. I will have to wait a while to get a membership anywhere due to all the $ Ive been spending with getting a new bow and e-collar for my new bird dog.

Hey Backwoods Boy, welcome to the club! I've been a member of CRB for the past year and I love it. The people there are what sold me. Everyone has been very helpful and no big egos. For less than a hundred bucks a year you can't beat total access to the club anytime you want and you can camp there too. I've learned alot in the short time I have been there. You'll have to let me know when you are going next and I'll meet ya. That map you posted was created by LilDave here on the site. I hope you can make it to Bownanza, it should be a blast.

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #34 on:** June 30, 2009, 07:58:13 AM »

thank you!
yeah im pretty excited.
it should be a blast.
cant wait to join some competitions but i need to get a few things for my bow first.
yeah i agree with you on the people. ie. while i was sighting in my bow at the range not 1 but 2 guys offered to help with pins.
pretty cool place and cant wait to have a boys camping bow weekend.
thanks again!

mossback91 · « **Reply #36 on:** July 01, 2009, 10:57:57 PM »

LOL y not try it?!?!?! its just a target.........cant wound a target...........if you dont feel confident on an animal dont do it but its fun to play around with targets at distance

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #37 on:** July 02, 2009, 08:11:46 AM »

oh don't get me wrong i tried plenty.
tried my new range finder and it works pretty well.
problem was i only showed up with 4 arrows and had to keep those all day. and i ended up with 2 left at the end of the day.
the two i lost were at 75 and 80 yards.
didn't exactly range those right on my 40 yard pins.

haha

seansfire · « **Reply #38 on:** November 26, 2009, 08:21:57 PM »

place just like it in belfair too. KBH Archers. $5.00 to shoot all day.

There is a nice (not as nice as Cedar River) range in my neck of the woods called Silver Arrow Bowmen.

http://www.wsaahistory.com/Silver_Arrow.html

Very challenging, uphill/downhill/close and far/over creeks and through the woods (I know, sounds like a Christmas carol).

Anyone in my area should check it out.
