The Complete Guide to Archery Near Nashville
This is the most honest guide I've had to write in this whole series, because the straightforward answer is: Nashville's archery directory coverage is thin, and some of what's tagged to "Nashville" in our data sits well outside the city itself. Now, I could paper over that with vague enthusiasm and call it a day. I won't. Here's exactly what's confirmed, what's genuinely in the Nashville metro, and what needs a call before you drive anywhere, sourced from ARC's Nashville directory, part of the wider Tennessee archery directory.
How many archery ranges are near Nashville?
Our directory lists 5 active archery businesses tagged to Nashville, Tennessee, and at least two of those are not actually inside the Nashville metro area.
That's the honest count, and it's worth explaining why. One listing, Archery Den, is located in Franklin, TN, a separate city roughly 21 miles south of downtown Nashville, though commonly considered part of the broader Nashville metro. Two other listings, Steve's Gun & Archery and Taylor's Archery, carry phone numbers with a 931 area code, which covers rural Middle Tennessee (communities like Tullahoma and Manchester) rather than the Nashville metro's 615/629 area codes. Their actual proximity to Nashville is unconfirmed in our data, and I'd rather flag that than assume they're local.
What archery businesses are confirmed in the Nashville area?
Archery Den, in Franklin, TN, is the most complete listing: lessons, a pro shop, and equipment rental, all confirmed.
Located at 4404 Franklin South Ct, Archery Den (also known online as Music City Archery) offers lessons, has a pro shop on site, and rents equipment, making it the one listing here where a first-timer could show up without owning any gear. It's about a 25 to 30 minute drive from downtown Nashville depending on traffic, so plan for that if you're coming from the city core.
Nashville North Archery, at 1203 Old Hydes Ferry Pike, is a commercial listing without lessons or a pro shop confirmed in our record. Its address places it in the Nashville area, but beyond that, our data doesn't confirm amenities, so contact the business directly.
What about the other three listings?
Steve's Gun & Archery, Broken Arrow Archery Club, and Taylor's Archery have limited public information, and their exact proximity to Nashville is unconfirmed.
Steve's Gun & Archery has a phone number on file but no address, website, or confirmed amenities. Broken Arrow Archery Club has no address, phone, or website confirmed at all, it's a name in our system pending further verification. Taylor's Archery, at 100 E Lauderdale St, does confirm lessons and a pro shop, but the listing's address doesn't include a city name in our record, and the phone number's area code (931) suggests it may be located further from Nashville than the directory tag implies.
I'm not going to remove these listings or guess at their real locations. I'll tell you plainly instead: they need a direct call to confirm both what they offer and how far they actually are from Nashville before you plan a visit.

Where to go from here
If you want a confirmed, well-equipped range you can actually plan a trip around, Archery Den in Franklin is the clear choice, even with the drive from downtown Nashville. Everything else on this list is a genuine "call first" situation, not because the businesses aren't real, but because our directory doesn't yet have enough verified detail to tell you what to expect. If you run or know of an archery range genuinely inside the Nashville city limits that we're missing, let us know. This is a market we want to fill in properly rather than pad with unverified listings.
