PLus it makes no sense that they provide the range there then...

Archery Trail

In conjunction with a local archery club, correctional inmate work crews and site staff, two separate 3/4-mile trails were developed for public use. The local archery club holds 3-D archery shoots on the trails several times during the year. Otherwise, the trails are open to the public for other activities such as hiking and birdwatching. As their names describe, the Whitetail Trail and the Big Buck Trail offer great opportunities for watching deer and other wildlife. The trail system is adjacent to the Crappie Cove picnic area.

Like I said...take those regs into the Lake office and ask to talk to the lake manager. I guarantee you that the area below the dam is not an area specifically designated off limits to a bow shoot by the commander. The "commander" is Col Setliff in the StL District office, not the lake manager.

Thanks for all the info ! The next time I head up to Carlyle I'll stop in the Lake Office and try to talk to the lake manager, hopefully things will pan out for everyone.

I can't wait to hear what they have to say when you show them a copy of the rules. We can't wait to shoot there again soon.

RE: Booted from Carlyle dam
 

so you can fish for dam carp with a dam bow and arrow as long as the dam officer is aware of his own dam rules?

RE: Booted from Carlyle dam
 

Yes, but keep your dam bow and arrow off the f@#$ing swim beach.
