About

The Salinas Bowmen Archery Club was established on August 1, 1947, and became incorporated as a non-profit organization on May 20, 1959. Throughout the years Salinas Bowmen has been committed to promoting the spirit of good fellowship among all archers and has been instrumental in introducing the great sport of archery to men, women, and children of all ages. The bald eagle is the official logo of Salinas Bowmen. Known for its strength in flight and keen vision, the eagle has the ability to see far-off challenges. Salinas Bowmen have faced many challenges throughout the years and will continue to soar in pursuit of excellence.

Our club has developed a 3-star NFAA-Certified outdoor archery range locate on Crazy Horse Canyon Road. The 15-acre range consists of 28 covered compressed foam targets and one broadhead pit. The practice range consists of several covered compressed foam targets ranging from 10 to 80 yards. The newest addition to our range is a 100 yard “long shot” lane with 2 targets.

Our club has regularly scheduled shooting activities throughout the year. Monthly we hold a club shoot on the second weekend of the month (you can shoot either Saturday or Sunday, or both days). Annually we host a marked yardage “open” shoot, which consists of life-size 3-D animal targets called The Island Shoot. We also host a multiple week tournament that consists of unmarked 3-D targets. This is typically held just prior to hunting season as it is a great way to practice judging distances for hunting.

We also have scheduled club hunting activities which range from carp fishing/shooting and squirrel hunting along with other animals as the opportunity and idea arises.

Salinas Bowmen strive to promote camaraderie amongst its membership and all archers.
