Twelfth Precinct Pistol and Archery Club

Twelfth Precinct Pistol and Archery Club welcomes archers of all skill levels and ages to its facility in Harwood, Maryland. The club maintains both indoor and outdoor archery options to accommodate different preferences and seasonal conditions. The 18-lane indoor range operates daily for members and their guests, and opens to the public for indoor league shooting during winter months from mid-October through mid-March, as well as for monthly 300-round matches during that same period. Outdoors, the club features a lighted practice range with a raised shooting platform and offers field archery courses along with a dedicated 3D archery program. Members can access the field course year-round at their convenience, while a weekly 3D league meets on Tuesday afternoons from mid-April through mid-August for those seeking more structured competition.

The facility caters to younger participants through a well-established youth program that has been operating since 1998, welcoming children ages 5 through 16 to explore archery alongside other shooting sports in a safety-focused environment. The club is affiliated with the Maryland Archery Association and hosts state-level championships, demonstrating its commitment to developing competitive archers. Membership is available for those seeking regular access, though visitors can also participate in select public events with advance arrangement. The club prioritizes instruction in safe equipment handling and proper technique as part of its broader mission to promote responsible participation in archery and marksmanship sports.
