Hemlock Field Archers stands as Central Pennsylvania's oldest and largest archery-only club, operating since 1954 with over 250 members. Located at 99 Spring Hill Lane in Lebanon, the facility sits along Route 72, approximately six miles south of Lebanon and convenient to the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
The club features both indoor and outdoor 3D shooting options with an 18-lane indoor range equipped with 3D animal targets at varying distances. Year-round programming includes Friday night indoor 3D shoots that run from January through March, tri-county 3D fun shoots hosted at multiple regional clubs, and target league competitions. Registration for most events begins early in the morning, typically around 7 a.m., with shooting fees ranging from $4 to $10 per person depending on the activity and age.
Hemlock maintains a strong commitment to youth development, offering certified instruction through their youth archery program for children ages 6 and up. The program is S3DA affiliated, allowing young archers to compete for state and national titles, and the club provides all necessary equipment including bow fitting at registration. Instructors at the facility are known for their patient and encouraging approach with younger shooters.
Visitors consistently praise the facility as a friendly, welcoming community for both beginners and experienced archers. Membership options are available starting at $25 annually for juniors, with individual and family memberships also offered. The club emphasizes safety and maintains comprehensive guidelines for all shooters using the range.
