Welcome to the Santa Cruz Archers web site.

When you visit our range, park in the lot then walk up the road beyond the work space and split-rail fence where the city is creating a park. The block building at the end of the road is our indoor range and club house, a few feet past the indoor range is our practice area. Our NFAA Certified outdoor range rambles through the redwoods and oaks beyond the practice range.

Upcoming Events (put these in your calendar)
The last Redwood Coast 3D will be Saturday June 27. Sixteen fun and challenging 3D targets will be taunting you starting at 9:30 AM... Register by 10AM so you won't be rushed. See our "Redwood Coast 3D" flier for more information.

The Bad Boys of Branciforte are back and they are once again presenting the Animal HeyDay shoot! Plan on coming to this exciting and enjoyable novelty event on Sunday October 18th. It's a marked yardage animal shoot that is likely to include a few surprises.

The purpose of the Santa Cruz Archers is to foster, expand and perpetuate the practice of field and target archery and the spirit of good fellowship among all archers. Our range is located among the oak and redwood trees of the DeLaveaga recreational area, in Santa Cruz, California.
