The Range:
For the last 40 years, Anne Arundel Archers has been located in Gambrills, Maryland, on 53 acres of county land open all year dawn to dusk between Route 3 South and the little Patuxent River (also known as Patuxent River Conways Park) which includes a lot of swamp land. The range follows county park regulations; Open dawn to dusk; Open parking in front; There are no lights after dark; There are no life guards; No phones or internet services; And, due to the fire hazard no Smoking and no open fires or barbeques. Lastly, there is no hunting on County property at any time.
Dogs/Pets are allowed, but they must be on leash and attended to.
We have 5 practice lanes with target distance from 11 feet to 80 yards open to public and 28 target outdoor NFAA regulation competition range for members and tournaments only. There’s a clubhouse and restroom facility on-site that is open during the warm Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons. For safety reasons the Public/practice targets will be closed for work parties and competitions. There will be notification signs posted out front and events will be posted on the web site resources.
The 28 target National Field Archery Association (NFAA) regulation (meaning regulation target distances throughout the USA) marked for Field, Hunter, Animal, Youth, Cub, and international shooting. Targets 1-14 at top of range; Targets 15-28 at bottom of range. For active members on the competition range, if you want to go straight to a particular target to practice a particular distance, yes you can – just know to continue to walk to the next numbered target in order, never walk back against the trail directions. To avoid incidents, always use the designated paths and trails.
