Adelphi Manor Archery Range

Located on University Boulevard East in Adelphi, Maryland, this outdoor archery facility sits in a wooded setting that offers plenty of space for target shooting. The range is free to use and features an extended shooting distance, making it a convenient option for those in the local area looking to practice before or after work. Visitors mention that the layout works well for beginning archers and provides adequate room without the typical wait times found at busier facilities. Those who've been there note that the range has recently undergone some improvements, including fresh target frames and added pathway markings, though guests recommend bringing a rangefinder since permanent distance markers aren't available. The range works best for traditional bows and recurves, though those shooting compounds over 50 pounds should plan to bring their own target bag or block, as visitors report the synthetic hay targets can be tough on arrows. The facility does attract wildlife, and guests occasionally spot deer on the grounds. Some visitors caution that the targets are positioned in a single line, which can create safety challenges when multiple shooters are present, and they recommend being aware of proper range etiquette when sharing the space with others.
