The Shooting Sports Education Center at Georgia Southern University offers an archery center located at 3271 Old Register Road in Statesboro, Georgia. The facility welcomes both university students and the general public with flexible access options. Visitors can use the archery center on a daily basis for $12, or they can become members to unlock longer-term benefits including daily lane passes starting at $7.50 for students and $12 for the public, along with 3-month, semester, and annual pass options. The center requires membership for public visitors before obtaining a lane pass, with a one-time $20 activation fee to join.
Children ages seven and older are eligible to use the archery center, though those 14 and younger must be accompanied by an adult. The facility offers bow rentals for $5, including both recurve and compound options, and arrow rentals as well. Members can take advantage of equipment rental passes that provide unlimited archery rentals throughout the year, with pricing starting at $15 for summer semester and going up to $100 annually for the general public. For those with their own equipment, the center provides secure equipment storage for $25 per semester, allowing members to store up to five bows or firearms.
To become a member, prospective users must watch a safety video, pass a written safety exam with at least an 80% score, and complete a practical exam under staff supervision. Those unable to pass the exams can take a 101 training class to obtain their archery membership. Once established, memberships never expire unless a member goes three consecutive years without visiting the facility.
