Archery

The Coso Archery Club Range is located within the RGRA (Ridgecrest Gun Range Association) located at the corner of Brown Road and Wiknich Roads, South of Inyokern, California. (See map below) The Club moved to this location in March 2009. The club is enjoying the warm hospitality extended to them by the RGRA members. A lot of work has been accomplished since our move. The club started out basically with an area of desert flowers, sagebrush, and tumbleweeds as pictured below.

Club members have volunteered numerous hours getting the range set up for formal and informal archery events. The range now has features and facilities, as noted in the photos below.

The public is invited to join us at our monthly shoots - which are held the second Saturday of the month: click here for the starting time of our shoots. The club also offers introductory archery instructions and can loan archery equipment on request.

Most Tuesday's at 5:15 PM the Club has an informal shoot - come and join us - there will be plenty of shooting, bragging, and/or help adjusting your equipment.
