The Complete Guide to Archery in San Antonio
San Antonio's archery listings lean heavily toward USA Archery-affiliated clubs running Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) programs alongside adult, 3D, and field archery, and that pattern shows up three separate times in our directory for this one city. There's also a 10-lane commercial range with a pro shop, and a group-event archery-tag venue. Here's what's confirmed, from ARC's San Antonio directory, part of the wider Texas archery directory.
How many archery ranges are in San Antonio?
San Antonio has 10 distinct active archery businesses in ARC's directory. (Our raw listing count is higher because a couple of businesses, A Place to Shoot, at 13250 Pleasanton Rd, appear twice under near-identical names at the same address; we're treating those as one business here rather than double-counting.)
Which San Antonio clubs run JOAD youth programs?
Three: Leading Edge Archery, Enduring Freedom Co., and SA Xtreme all run USA Archery-affiliated Junior Olympic Archery Development programs.
Leading Edge Archery, at 117 Industrial Dr, runs the broadest slate: JOAD, an Adult Archery Program, 3D archery, and field archery, all under one roof. It keeps published hours, Tuesday to Friday 10 AM to 7 PM, Saturday 11 AM to 3 PM, closed Sunday and Monday.
Enduring Freedom Co., at 4700 Timco W, Suite 117, runs the same four-program combination (JOAD, Adult, 3D, Field). A related listing at the same address, Enduring Freedom Academy, doesn't have lessons confirmed in our record despite the name. The JOAD and program details in our directory are attached specifically to the "Co." listing.
SA Xtreme, at 4507 N Loop, runs a JOAD program at the same address as Mission Ridge Range & Academy. The two appear to share a facility, with SA Xtreme representing the youth program specifically.
Where can I find a commercial range with a pro shop in San Antonio?
Buck & Doe's Mercantile, at 24250 US-281, runs 10 lanes alongside an on-site pro shop and lessons.
Ten lanes is enough for a small league night or a busy weekend without a long wait, and having lessons on site means a first-timer doesn't need to line up separate coaching before picking up a bow. Specific pricing and age requirements for lessons aren't published, so contact the business directly.
Are there any group or event-style archery venues in San Antonio?
Yes, Archery Battles San Antonio is set up for organized archery-game formats rather than solo lane rental.
Archery Battles San Antonio, at 8235 Vicar Dr, points toward combat-style archery tag based on its name, and this kind of business typically runs on group bookings and team events rather than walk-in lane time. Booking structure and pricing should be confirmed directly with the venue.
What about the rest of San Antonio's listings?
A Place to Shoot, Mesquite Archery San Antonio, Mission Ridge Range & Academy, and Gassman's Archery and Air Rifles are confirmed businesses with an address and phone, but our directory doesn't yet confirm lane counts, lessons, or a pro shop for them.
A Place to Shoot (13250 Pleasanton Rd) and Mesquite Archery San Antonio (5711 Kenwick St, hours Tue–Thu 10–7, Fri–Sat 10–5) are both commercial ranges without confirmed amenity details beyond their listing. Gassman's Archery and Air Rifles (102 Jackson Keller Rd) reads as an equipment retailer carrying both archery and air-rifle gear rather than a dedicated range. Call ahead for all three before planning a visit.

Where to go from here
If you're getting a kid into competitive archery, San Antonio actually has three JOAD programs to choose from, and Leading Edge Archery has the most complete published schedule. If you just want lane time with equipment on hand, Buck & Doe's Mercantile is the one confirmed 10-lane setup with a pro shop. For a group event or party, Archery Battles is the one built for that.
