St. Louis Archery Club

St. Louis Archery Club operates as a specialized archery training facility based in the Forest Park area, welcoming archers of all skill levels from complete beginners through competitive athletes. The club has been serving the St. Louis community since 1925 and maintains both indoor and outdoor ranges where members and visitors can practice the sport.

The facility accommodates various shooting distances, with open shooting sessions available at distances ranging from 20 to 70 yards. The club employs a team of USA Archery certified coaches, including Level IV and Level III instructors, who provide instruction across multiple formats to suit different learning styles and goals. Private lessons tailored to individual needs are available for ages six and up, while group classes held on Saturday afternoons cater to beginners ages eight and older. The club also runs beginner summer camps during June, July, and August for participants nine and up. For those curious about the sport, the club offers a free "Give it a Go" option on Sunday afternoons during the warmer months, providing 15 minutes of minimal instruction for first-time archers.

Members enjoy free access to open shooting sessions, while day passes cost ten dollars per visit. Equipment rentals are available, including Genesis bows on a first-come, first-served basis for a small fee. Visitors can bring their own equipment or use what the facility provides. The club hosts competitive events and tournaments throughout the year, and accommodates private events, parties, and scouting group bookings at the range.
