2021 (new) Shooting Guidelines

Starting in the new year, please make sure to register for shooting via Archer's Diary for all days until further notice.

Due to the events regarding the spread of the corona virus, we are restricting the amount of archer's on the range at any given time. This will allow you to plan your day effectively.

Your understanding into this matter is greatly appreciated!
