The Complete Guide to Archery in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs shows up in ARC's directory with more archery listings than almost any other city in this guide, 12 active entries. But I want to attach an honest caveat to that number before you get too excited about it. This is a city with a strong outdoor-recreation and hunting culture, and several listings are commercial archery or sporting-goods businesses where our records don't yet confirm lane counts, pricing, or hours. So let's separate what's actually confirmed from what still needs a phone call, using ARC's Colorado Springs directory as the source, part of the wider Colorado archery directory.

How many archery ranges are in Colorado Springs?

Colorado Springs has 12 active archery listings in ARC's directory (three additional listings in our records are currently marked inactive and aren't included here).

That's a genuinely large number for one city in this guide, and it makes sense once you think about it. Colorado Springs sits at the base of Pikes Peak, right next to a lot of public land, which is a natural draw for both target archers and bowhunters preparing for hunting season.

Where can I find a free, public archery range in Colorado Springs?

Bear Creek Terrace Archery Range is the city's public park option.

Bear Creek Terrace Archery Range, on Argus Blvd, sits within the city's park system. Public ranges like this typically serve as a lower-barrier option for residents who don't want to commit to a private club, though our records don't confirm lane counts or seasonal hours for this specific site, so check with the City of Colorado Springs parks department before visiting.

Which Colorado Springs archery clubs offer lessons and structured programs?

Colorado Springs JOAD and Rocky Mountain Archery Association are the two listings with the most complete program information.

Colorado Springs JOAD, at 2110 Busch Ave, is a USA Archery-affiliated club running Junior Olympic Archery Development for young shooters, an Adult Archery Program for beginners, and 3D archery. Contact the club directly (bockrmr@aol.com) for hours and membership costs, those aren't published.

Rocky Mountain Archery Association, at 6195 Katy Court, is an ASA-affiliated club running 3D and field archery rounds on foam-animal targets, oriented toward bowhunting preparation as much as competitive shooting. Contact is listed via email (arrowanne@yahoo.com); no lane count or published fees.

Which Colorado Springs range has confirmed hours and pricing?

Pikes Peak Gun Club's Isaak Walton Range is the one listing in our directory with published hours and a drop-in price.

Pikes Peak Gun Club – Isaak Walton Range, at 450 S Franceville Coal Mine Rd, lists a $15 drop-in rate and is open Wednesday and Friday 9 AM to 6:30 PM, Saturday and Sunday 9 AM to 5 PM (closed Monday, Tuesday, Thursday). It's marked handicap accessible. Worth noting: this is a broader shooting club that includes archery among its offerings, so it's not confirmed whether it has dedicated archery lanes. Call ahead to confirm what the archery side of the facility actually looks like before you drive out.

What about the rest of Colorado Springs' archery listings?

Several commercial listings exist in our directory with a name, address, and phone number, but no confirmed amenities. That's genuinely all the public information available right now.

This applies to Bill Pellegrino's Archery Hut (6325 E Platte Ave), Archery School of the Rockies (2110 Busch Ave, and yes, that's the same address as Colorado Springs JOAD, which suggests a related operation), Valor Archery Challenge (7610 Montane Dr, 3D targets confirmed), BA Legend Archery (9361 Lochwinnoch Ln), Specialty Sports & Supply Colorado Springs (4285 E Fountain Blvd, a sporting-goods retailer), Shatterproof Archery (1547 Paonia St), Bowhunters Edge Archery (3812 E Pikes Peak Ave #100), and Archer's Alley (410 JL Ranch Heights Rd). I'd rather list contact information honestly than invent amenities these businesses may or may not have. Calling ahead is genuinely the only way to know what's actually on site.

Where to go from here

If you want confirmed pricing and hours today, Pikes Peak Gun Club's Isaak Walton Range is your safest bet. If structured coaching or 3D/field programs matter more to you than walk-in convenience, Colorado Springs JOAD and Rocky Mountain Archery Association are the club routes. For everything else on this list, treat the listing as a starting point for a phone call, not a confirmed set of amenities.
