Minnehaha Archers Club

Minnehaha Archers operates as a volunteer-run nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting archery in the greater Sioux Falls area. The club maintains both an indoor and outdoor facility to serve archers of all skill levels and interests, whether they're shooting for recreation, competition, or bowhunting preparation. The indoor range offers 24/7 access to members and features paper targets available for purchase. The outdoor range sits adjacent to the Great Bear Recreational Area and provides a natural shooting environment. The club welcomes newcomers through public open nights held during the colder months when non-members can try archery for a modest fee plus target cost. For those interested in developing their skills, the organization offers competitive opportunities through multiple leagues and tournaments throughout the year, as well as youth programming through JOAD with dedicated coaching available. Membership is required for regular facility use, and the club enforces clear safety guidelines including prohibitions on broadhead arrows and cross shooting. Since its establishment in 1951, Minnehaha Archers has established itself as one of the region's most respected archery organizations, with an emphasis on education and community engagement alongside competitive and recreational shooting.
