About

Nestled within a park setting surrounded by bay laurels and coastal redwoods in Novato, Northwoods Bowmen's Club operates an indoor archery range that welcomes both members and the general public. Founded in 1954, this established facility serves archers of all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced competitors. The club offers a four-week introductory archery course held on Thursday evenings each month, providing an accessible entry point for those new to the sport. Every Monday night, the range hosts an open shoot night where visitors can try archery free of charge without needing to bring their own equipment. The club maintains reasonable membership fees and organizes regular Wednesday night league shoots spanning approximately ten weeks, featuring various target types and friendly competitions. Members compete using equipment ranging from traditional longbows to modern compound bows with sights and stabilizers. The club also hosts monthly meetings and special events throughout the year, including regional competitions and themed shoots. Visitors praise the knowledgeable and welcoming staff, describing the range as a hidden gem in the Bay Area and noting it as one of the few indoor archery facilities in the region. The combination of a quality shooting environment and strong community focus makes it an appealing destination for both casual archers and those serious about developing their skills.
