Range for crossbow in the Germantown area

km04 · Nov 15, 2015

Have a friend who just bought a crossbow. He is looking for a range in the area where he lives. Anybody got the name of a place he can shoot?

Why not just get a bag target and shoot field points in your backyard or wherever other people aren't and you have a proper backstop?

He lives in a condo and doesn't have the room. Thanks.

In my observations, Archery Ranges do NOT allow Crossbows on their property...

Crossbow Projectiles are very destructive & will destroy normal a Archery Targets very, very quickly...

Buy a bag target, take it into the woods & practice it there...

Lake Needwood has an archery range.

Izaak Walton's have archery ranges.

Call the POPO and ask if you can use a local park.

Just be safe.

Yes but, he'll still need a x-bow target there. He can shoot there though. What about Stryders Archery Range on Clopper Rd.? Is that still there?

Lake Needwood has a Range. He will need a target though they only have hay bales. Depending on what his FPS are bag targets may not cut it. I have the Morrell Bone collector block. Also let him know it may be beneficial to purchase a target block made for broadheads so he doesn't have to buy two targets. I unfortunately will have to buy a broadhead block

...that have been there for a hundred years and most compounds go through.

IWLA on Clopper does allow crossbows as long as your not using broadheads. You have to be a member though. There is an archery range at the SoccerPlex near the driving range. They recently replaced their targets but if you miss, you'll probably destroy or lose your arrows. The target frame is metal and it's unforgiving.

Nope, Striders Archery Range is long closed. There is an Archery Range in Germantown Soccerplex. It is located in south west corner. I saw people there shooting crossbows.

Gotcha...that would suck. Best of luck for him finding a club or range to join. The ones I looked into were either cost or time investment-prohibitive but then again, I wasn't looking that far South.
