DCWC
will host one Archery Fun Shoot each month of the calendar year.
A
normal Fun Shoot usually consists of bits and pieces of all archery games
available here at DCWC. Fun shoots are geared toward beginning and intermediate
archers.
All
yardages are shortened up from the normal tournament distances.
This
is a great opportunity to come out and try archery for the first time!
DCWC
has a nice assortment of beginner level archery equipment for people to use.
There
are several Genesis, recurve and compound bows.
This
equipment is available for a nominal rental fee.
This
equipment is for persons to use on first come first served basis.
We can supply the bows and a
great place to enjoy archery.
We ask that you please try
to supply your own arrows.
Arrows must be able to be
shot from a 35 – 40lbs bow (Arrow spine or stiffness).
And,
just to get you started, brief archery lessons are available to anyone who needs
them.
· Score cards are supplied
with shooting and scoring directions on them. You can keep score, but no score
cards are turned in - unless you’re bragging, of course! We are shooting just
for fun.
· Shoot as much as you like.
You don't even have to finish the established course of targets.
· Targets are set up between 5
and 50 yards with mid-range stakes set on the longer shots. The mid range
stakes are for less experienced archers because we don’t want people shooting
past their capabilities. This is a safety precaution.
Safety
is always DCWC #1 priority.
· Persons who use any
equipment provided at the shoots will be responsible for it by paying
replacement value costs if they lose or damage any equipment.
Archery
Fun Shoots may be canceled due to poor weather.
Please call the DCWC Range Closure Hotline at (919) 361-1839 for shoot cancellation notification before coming out.
