Union County Archery Range at Oak Ridge Park

Built with generous volunteer assistance from the local archery community, the Union County Archery Range at Oak Ridge Park in Clark is New Jersey's only public facility of its kind. The range operates daily from dawn to dusk and welcomes archers of all skill levels who meet the certification requirements.

To use the range, you'll need a current Union County Archery ID Card. Here's the process:

1. Complete a Group Archery Safety Lesson (minimum age 9) 2. Submit your course completion card signed by the instructor 3. Obtain your photo ID card

• •ID Card Fees (annual):
• •Adults (county residents): $30 | Out-of-county: $40
• •Youth 17 & under: $15 | $22
• •Seniors 55+: $15 | $22
• •Replacement card: $5

• •Permitted bows: Longbow, recurve, and compound bow only (70 lb. max draw weight). Crossbows allowed only for NJ State licensed hunters with physical disabilities.

• •What you bring: All of your own equipment—bow, arrows, and targets. The range supplies nothing. Targets must be compatible with your setup. Only target and field points allowed; no broadheads.

Shooting standards: - Max 6 arrows per relay (10-minute limit) - Shoot from marked firing line only - Straight in-lane shooting only—no crossing shots or roving - 5-minute max for arrow retrieval - Display your Archery ID at all times

Once certified, take your skills further with private lessons. Intermediate instruction is available for groups of four or fewer at $100 per person, scheduled by mutual agreement. Lessons are appointment-only and require prior completion of a Group Safety Lesson or valid Archery ID.
