3D Archery Range
We set up the 3D range this morning. All of the lanes were cut in. Attached is a map of where the targets are. Distances have not been put in yet. That will be done later this week. Until then, please use the range but you’ll have to wing it on the distance unless you have a range finder. Remember, there is a match this Saturday, May 28 at 1pm. We’ll have a 3D shoot as well as a field archery shoot. So try to come out.
FIELD TIPS ONLY.
Check the RRPC calendar for match times. Events are usually on the 4th Saturday of each month unless a special event has been scheduled.
