Title: Local-ish archery clubs with outdoor ranges???
Post by: NorseNW on January 22, 2017, 01:51:19 PM: I did some of that there Google-searching along side Hunt Washington Forum searches and came down to basically 2 that fit the bill. I am looking for an outdoor archery range, preferably something with a walking multi-distance course that's within an hour or hour and half of Battle Ground, WA.

My research brought me to these two organizations:
Bushmen Archers - St. Helens, OR
Lewis & Clark Bowmen - Castle Rock, WA

Both have their pluses and minuses that I need to decide between. Probably make a site visit / scouting trip to both before figuring it out. Any other organizations or ranges that I missed in the vicinity I'm looking???

Also any members of either Bushmen or Lewis & Clark that would be willing to allow me and the wife to be your guest for a visit?

Thank you for information you are willing to share.

In North Plains Or, wasn't too bad of a drive from Battle Ground.

Up to a 90 yard range. And a 25 target 3D course. 13$. Lots of terrain to the course. Had a great time with a couple buddies.

Looks like the two options are wait until they have a shoot or just pay for an annual pass and see which works out best. Annual pass is the expensive route but at least I can tell what the "traffic" is like at the place during the year. Like most of my hunting adventures this year - you don't know until you go!

Trails are very well laid out with walkways over wet areas and one section is even handicap accessible. We also have a 20 yard indoor range in the heated clubhouse. Google KBH Archers or KBH archery club. BTW non members are welcome to shoot for a $5 range fee.

I've never even been to that side of the canal before. Now I want to move there! Very impressive club you all have. :drool:
