Facilities

The Westford Sportsmen’s Club currently has four archery facilities for members:

  1. Target range with dual hanging bag targets at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 yards. These are open to all types of archery using field points, though we do restrict broadheads to specific block targets on the practice range. For broadheads the practice range offers a broadhead target shelter as well as moveable broadhead-capable block targets.
  2. Auxiliary youth/beginner 10 yard hay bale training range. This is ideal for junior events since it accepts blunter youth arrows that too often bounce off bag targets.
  3. Two-level (15′, 26′) archery tower, with 3-D targets ranging from close-in, to 50 yards out.
  4. “Hunting Style” 30 target 3D course, open from January – mid October. It provides challenging shots at a variety of game animals (including deer, bears, and big game/exotics like elk, blesbok, ibex and dahl sheep) in actual woodland settings, highlighting some of our hillier terrain and views.

3D Archery Course Clean-Up


August 29, 2021

We will be having a small work party, this Sunday, 29-Aug'21 starting at 8:30AM, to clean up the 3D Archery course in preparation for a shoot we will be hosting on September 5th.

Work will include weed whacking and grooming the 3D course, and cleaning up the archery range.

Recommended attire includes outdoor work boots and gloves, and eye and ear protection.

The club has a few weed whackers, but if you have a reliable working one to bring that would be helpful.

Contact the Archery chair if you plan to help out.
