Santa Cruz Archers Mission
The club was founded May 10, 1968. 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. To that end, we sponsor various archery events throughout the year and host regular "Introduction to Archery" classes.
Location
Our range is located among the oak and redwood trees of the DeLaveaga recreational area, in Santa Cruz, California. See our Directions page for maps leading to our archery range.
When you visit our range, park in the lot then walk up the road beyond the split-rail fence. 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.
Hours
The SCA range is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays, from noon to
4:00PM. Please see our "Calendar," "Learn Archery" and "Directions" pages for more information about our activities and how to find us.
The range includes an indoor range, an outdoor sighting range and a field range with 2 loops. On the field range, children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Please see our guidelines for information on using the field range.
The club hosts a variety of events, including regular indoor and outdoor
club shoots and indoor and outdoor novelty shoots.
