Located in Poolesville, Maryland, this welcoming outdoor archery facility serves both members and their guests with comprehensive shooting opportunities. The range features a spacious field area equipped with fixed bag targets positioned at 20, 30, 40, and 50 yards, along with an 80-yard bison target. Each distance includes dedicated shooting positions, bow hangars, and arrow holders, with broadhead sighting-in boards available at the 20 and 30-yard stations. From mid-spring through late summer, the facility opens scenic 3D courses that wind through surrounding wooded terrain, generally available to members and the public on weekends for a small fee.
The range prioritizes instruction and youth development through its team of USA Archery-certified instructors and range officers. New archers can access guidance from experienced staff members, and youth archery equipment is available for children upon request. The facility takes particular pride in its Apollo Archery program, a signature monthly initiative held on the first Wednesday from April through October that welcomes military members, veterans, first responders, and their families. This program offers beginner instruction and adaptive opportunities designed to ensure the sport is accessible to all participants, including wounded warriors and disabled veterans.
Throughout the year, the range hosts various events including competitions, introductory shoots, opening day celebrations, and sight-in days. The facility emphasizes building skills, fostering enjoyment, and honoring archery traditions within a supportive community atmosphere.
