Merry Christmas to all our members and friends from Woodley Park Archers!Merry Christmas to all our members and friends from Woodley Park Archers!

What a great workday today! Thank you so much to all the fantastic and dedicated members and friends of Woodley Park Archers who worked for hours today to get the job done. We thoroughly cleaned our service yard and removed and replaced the bale stands and bales on the long range. We have added bales at 5 meters, 20, 30 and 40 yards, and added additional bales at a number of distances. We only have remaining, replacing the 3 bales at 90m. The long range continues to be divi...ded into two sections, the East Range (short distances) and the West range (long distances) separated by a 40 foot wide safety margin. Please help take care of our new bales by remembering to use target backing and pads.

Greetings WPA Archers! Just a reminder, we are having a MASSIVE WORK PARTY this Saturday at 9am. Massive in the scope, not the number of people. (We do need a bunch of people, however!) We are replacing all the remaining bales and stands on the LONG RANGE. If you are available. We DO need your help. Bring work gloves, long sleeve shirts, and, of course, your mask. If you have pitchforks or hard rakes, bring them! We will be providing pizza for lunch for everyone who shows up... in the morning and works. If we get enough people, we could finish early afternoon! The entire long range will be closed during the duration of the work. We will close the short range at some point as well to finish banding those bales.

Here is an excellent article on working out, weight loss, strength training, fitness improvement and how to get started!

We hope everyone is enjoying the newly reopened short range! Thank you so much to all the awesome club volunteers and members for all the hard work on the short range! This is our temporary design until our new structure is approved by Recreation and Parks Department and can then be rebuilt. A reminder if you shoot on the short range and lose an arrow behind the bales, PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE SERVICE YARD TO RETRIEVE IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS! ... Ask a club instructor or Coach for assistance or if noone is around, send us an email and picture of it and will will recover it and notify you. Many arrows are being recovered! We are no longer putting found arrows in the Lost and Found tube on the short range as they are being stolen. This include arrows lost on the long range! We have also begun bale replacement on our Long Range starting with our shorter distances. Please be patient while work is in progress. Watch for dates of upcoming work party notices here and on Instagram to come out and help take care of our range! Happy shooting! Coach Wayne

We are about 4 bales stands short for today's project. We will add the other 4bstands early next week. Please consider helping out on the 24th at 9am when we do the rest of the bales stands on the long range. Special thanks to Nicole, Scott, Carlo, Igor, and Kirill for volunteering! New distances and quantities:... There is now one 5m bale stand for little kids and short form bale practice. Priority is for little kids who are not strong enough to shoot 10m; if you are using it, please surrender this bale to kids if you see them struggling at 10m. We have added 2 bales to the 10m line. The 20m has now become 18m since 20 is not a competition distance. We are adding extra bales at the 18m to have more therebthan used to be when it was 20m. See you all on the 24th!

Greetings archers! Saturday, October 24th is the first official long range work party! We need lots of help with demolition of old bale stands, installing new ones, and lifting and banding new bales! Bring work gloves, and we will provide lunch! Starts at 9am!

Short range is done for now! Until we get the wall rebuild approved, anyhow. Next project: LONG RANGE!!! This Friday, October 9th st 9am, a few of us will be working on the 10m section of the long range. That means the 20 and 10m will be closed while we work, until we are done, NO EXCEPTIONS. If anyone wants to help us, feel free to come down! Bring gloves!

We had some delays so we cannot open the short range today afterall. However, it is almost ready and we will try to open this weekend or very early next week!

The Short Range is almost ready for reopening! Eight temp bale stands are up on the short range. We will band and saturate them on Friday! The shooting line will be limited to 8 archers at a time to maintain social distancing. Masks will be required Special thanks to Heath Hammond and Joseph Deese of The Livery Warbow Shop for helping us unload and setup!
