Full description and what we offer
T.H.E. Great River Archery Club addresses a real problem: the drop in archery participation and hunting over the past decade. Working with the Minnesota Stearns County Parks Department, they've built public archery access where it didn't exist before.
- •Outdoor Range at Mississippi River County Park features:
- •FITA field course with targets from 20 to 80 yards
- •Broadhead boxes to 50 yards
- •Concrete pads and bow hangers for shooting stability
- •Open sunrise to sunset (public access with free-will donations)
The club offers archery instruction for all age groups, including: - Hunter safety courses - Advanced bow hunter education - Becoming an Outdoor Woman (B.O.W.) courses - Property management and food plot development - Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) - National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) - 4-H and Scouting programs - Adaptive archery for Disabled American Veterans and Wounded Warriors
They run competitive events throughout the year:
| Event | Date | Details |
|---|---|---|
| MSAA 900 | June 28 | Outdoor tournament, 90 arrows at 60/50/40 yards |
| MSAA 50m | June 29 | 72 arrows at 50 meter distance |
| 3D Scramble | June 28 | $20 entry, random 2-person teams, 20 targets |
| Powder Ridge 3D | Aug 15-17 | 40+ targets, $40 adults / $20 youth |
Their Powder Ridge 3D event draws shooters from across the region—first event capable of handling large groups in this area.
Currently in planning stages, the indoor range will fill a major regional gap. Right now, no archery facilities nearby can host instruction or competitions for large groups. Once complete, it'll serve as a destination for both casual shooters and serious competitors.
