Archery

Archery is one of the oldest arts still practiced today.  Although Archery likely dates to the Stone Age (around 20,000 BC), the earliest people known to have used bows and arrows were the ancient Egyptians, for purposes of hunting and warfare, some 5,000 years ago.  The first known organized competition in Archery was held at Finsbury, England in 1583 and included 3,000 participants!

At OPSC, Archery is a staple activity. We have a large collection of 2D and 3D targets (at various ranges) on our outdoor practice field. The Club has resources for bow hunters and Archery enthusiasts alike, regardless of ability.

While Archery Members generally meet the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month, please confirm dates/times via the club Calendar.

Don’t have any equipment? Don’t worry! There is plenty of loaner equipment and plenty of Archery enthusiasts who would enjoy teaching you about the sport. Come on out and give it try!
