I THINK WILL ALL NEED TO HELP THIS LADY OUT WITH SOME IDEAS!!!
It would be great if the city would become a memeber of state club (i am a member of wisconsin bowhunters ass.).
that would get it noticed and help in the set of leagues and other shoots.
get the kids in there with good instructors and some matthews geneises bows.
if it would be possiable some 3d targets....
vary the yardage if possible.
thanks

If it was my range I would want something that was atleast 25 to 30yards shootable down range. It would also be nice to have it about 30 feet wide. The only reason I would want somthing this large is you can have some awsome indoor 3-d shoots in the winter months to raise money. This all comes down to what the primary needs and uses of the range are going to be. Is this just a range without a proshop? Any one that would be working their open hours or is it available to who ever pays their dues and has a key? If know one is working or no proshop I have heard of people using vending machines to offer some of the basics such as knocks, field points and what ever else you want to stock.

When I was in Chicago I belonged to an organization called Chicago Bowhunters. After buying your membership you where given a key that was changed once a year. This key gave you acess 24/7 to the indoor range and the outdoor practice range and the 3-D range. The whole property was fenced in. Inside the indoor range we had a bowpress, bow scale, cronograph and a sitting/meeting area seperated from the range by a wall and some plexiglass windows.

Talk to the local archers and conduct a servey.

Hope some of this is helpfull.
