Title: Archery range near Lacey/Oly area?
Post by: mykl05 on September 06, 2015, 09:31:52 AM: Is there a known distance range that will let me shoot out to 80 yds or so? If not I would just settle for a range, unfortunately I live in Lacey and according to the police shooting a bow in the city limits is illegal.

I forgot these guys have a range. This is probably your best bet as there is little traffic to deal with and if I recall, have a walk through course that is open occasionally as well as the target range.

This is from the Capital City page under the archery section, are these no longer there? I ask because I don't live far and have been kicking around the idea of joining...

I think its still there, I'm out there a couple of times a week, but I'm on the pistol range.

Post by: Torrent50 on September 06, 2015, 10:38:10 PM: I will give another vote for Lucky Shot. Not that far and a great range(s). Just can't shoot there on Sundays anymore because some moron shot into the church parking lot last month and hit a couple occupied cars.

Depends on where you live. A lot of cities have ordinances that consider bows a dangerous weapon and make it unlawful to shoot them.

Post by: sirmissalot on September 23, 2015, 09:30:10 AM: Capital city bowmen/capital city rifle and pistol have a pretty nice range and isnt too far from olympia.

Lucky shot is a little further but is nicer and you don't have to be a member.

Post by: Piscatory_5 on September 25, 2015, 10:39:25 PM: get your own target and take it out to capitol forest to shoot. I stopped shooting in the yard after my neighbor behind me sent an arrow into my yard and hit my patio door. Since he elected not to shoot in the yards I am doing the same. Find a nice dirt bank to put target against and step off some distances.

Post by: IslandStorm62 on September 26, 2015, 04:06:42 PM: I did not read througout the entire thread, but, I beleive JBLM (both McChord A.F. and Fort Lewis) have Archery Ranges. I think you could also just go up to Capitol Forest and set up a makeshift site. Heck a lot of people just go up there and shoot their pistols, I think.
