Field Archery Range

Field Archery Range is a free public archery facility located in Greenwood, Missouri that offers both traditional static ranges and an extensive field course through a forested setting. The range features six static shooting lanes positioned near the parking area alongside restroom facilities, with distances ranging from 20 to 60 yards depending on the lane setup. Beyond the standard range, visitors can explore a 28 to 30-target walking trail course that winds through wooded terrain with target distances ranging from 10 to nearly 70 yards. Those who've been there note that the trail experience resembles archery golf and involves hiking through forests with steep embankments, stream crossings, and muddy sections, particularly after rainfall. The facility operates from sunrise to dusk and posts basic safety rules and archery etiquette guidelines for visitors. Guests mention that while the course provides a rewarding outdoor adventure with good variety for practice, the target material can be challenging on arrows, so bringing extra equipment is recommended. Visitors also suggest wearing long pants to protect against poison ivy, sturdy hiking shoes for the trail sections, and bug spray for visits during warmer months when insects are more prevalent. Overall, archery enthusiasts praise the range as a well-maintained public resource that offers both convenient static shooting and an engaging field course experience.
