About

Founded in 1983, this family-oriented archery club in Worthington serves shooters of all ages and skill levels with a strong emphasis on sportsmanship, responsibility, and respect. The facility maintains both indoor and outdoor ranges to accommodate year-round shooting. The indoor setup features an east range with 18 lanes and a west range with 8 lanes, offering marked shooting distances at 9 meters, 10 yards, 18 meters, and 20 yards. During summer months, an outdoor range opens with 17 stations spanning distances from 5 yards to 80 yards. Members enjoy 24/7 access to all ranges through annual membership options including single adult, family, and junior memberships.

The club actively introduces youth to archery through structured programs including Junior Olympic Archery Development classes that run during summer and winter sessions. These youth programs welcome all experience levels, with no equipment necessary since the club provides and maintains bows and gear for participants. Volunteers conduct instruction for boys and girls up to age 18, covering competition archery, hunting practices, and the fundamentals of safe shooting.

Beyond youth programs, the club organizes multiple competitive leagues throughout the year, including winter team leagues, individual vegas leagues, traditional leagues using recurve and longbow, and summer field leagues. The facility includes a reception and common area with restrooms, lockers available for rental, and onsite concessions. Equipment repair and adjustment services are also available for members.
