Finding good archery ranges in your area might be a difficult task, so I decided to do the work for you and find the best archery ranges around Pheonix, Arizona. These are the most recommended ranges in the area, with all the information you might need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A list of the best archery ranges near Pheonix, Arizona:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the area around the city is so large, I’ve gathered the absolute best places to practice archery, from different parts of the city. This will help narrow down the places you might want to go train at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Papago Archery Association<\/a> club is a non-profit organization that is also a part of USAA and ABFAA. It’s a close and personal group of archers who share the love of the sport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The archery range is a part of the Papago Park Sports Complex<\/a>, which is a large recreational park with areas designated to all sorts of sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The club has one outdoor range which is run by coaches for safety. During the week the club is open to the public with no fees but doesn’t supply equipment like targets, bows, and arrows. During weekends club members can enjoy practicing with the club gear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Prices may vary and are relevant to the information found at the time of writing this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The range is open to the public with no fees (if you bring your own equipment). It is customary to place an occasional small donation to help the club out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Membership isn’t available just for anyone: you must have some previous archery experience, or you’ll need to take the beginner archery course the club offers. This ensures that archers know the proper etiquette and for the safety of the club members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Individual membership to the club will cost 50$\/year, and family membership (for 3 or more family members) will cost 150$\/year. Club members do need to occasionally volunteer in the club, but it’s well worth it. Membership has a lot of benefits except using the club’s equipment, you can read about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re just starting out with archery, you might want to join the beginner archery course<\/strong> the club offers. It includes 3 sessions of 90 minutes where USAA archery instructors coach on Olympic recurve style archery. Course graduates can later become members of the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Participants don’t need to bring any equipment and are welcome if they’re at least 8 years old. The courses are held multiple times in the spring or fall and are limited to 20 participants. Generally, this is a great opportunity for beginners to get into the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re looking for a little more personal attention, the club offers private archery lessons<\/strong> at a fair price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kids and teenagers between the ages of 8 and 20, who want some more intensive training might want to join the club’s JOAD program<\/strong>. Adults might enjoy the AAP program<\/strong>. To join these programs you must be a club member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These programs teach attendees how to properly shoot the bow, range safety, and much more. These programs include shooting all styles of bows (recurve, compound, and barebow). They include weekly coached recreational\/competitive classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since this is an outdoor range, the hours of operation are generally limited by sunlight time.
