Sandia Crest Bowhunters Association

Sandia Crest Bowhunters Association operates as a non-profit outdoor archery facility nestled in the Tijeras area east of Albuquerque. The organization maintains multiple shooting areas, including a comprehensive 28-target field course, a practice range accommodating distances from 10 to 100 yards, and five targets dedicated to the American Round format. The facility is secured with member-only key access, though the organization welcomes non-members to visit once annually with a current member or to participate in scheduled events.

The range hosts various competitive events throughout the year, including 3D and NFAA shoots, as well as a 3D league running during the summer months. Members also have opportunities to participate in regional and sectional NFAA competitions. Visitors praise the range's well-maintained grounds and diverse shot selection, noting that it provides excellent preparation for hunting season while accommodating archers of all skill levels. Those who've spent time here emphasize the facility's appeal to the local bowhunting community and highlight the sense of community and shared passion for archery that defines the organization.
