Promoting bowhunting and target archery in a family

Blue Ridge Bowhunters Archery Club

Leicester, North Carolina, USA

Located just 20 minutes north of beautiful downtown Asheville, NC, the Blue Ridge Bowhunters Archery Club
is dedicated to promoting field archery, 3-D archery, and bow hunting.
We have one of the largest club memberships in the state of North Carolina,
and are proud to offer opportunities for archers of all ages, from the
novice to the professional, to practice, compete, and enjoy camaraderie
with other archery enthusiasts.

All of our activities are family friendly; safety and fair play are paramount.

We firmly believe that passing on these traditional skills to our children and
grandchildren is the only way to ensure that our sport remains viable in the future.

While many of our members shoot the finest and most advanced compound bows,
our club also includes a large number of traditional archers. If you are interested in
any aspect of archery, you will find someone in our club who talks your language.
Crossbows, however, are not allowed on the property
of Blue Ridge Bowhunters at any time!

We regret that we are unable to offer formal archery lessons. If you are interested in archery but do not know where or how to begin, we invite you to contact a club officer with your questions, or to attend one of our shoot events. Better yet, consider joining our club so that you are eligible to come out every Thursday evening (during Daylight Savings Time) and shoot all you want on the club property. There are always lots of members on hand who will be happy to offer suggestions and encouragement, and afterwards dinner is available at the clubhouse!

Circuit Shoot #6, on April 6 & 7, 2013, was another great success. Many thanks to all the folks who came out to shoot and to the many club members who turned out to help set up, tear down, and prepare food. It was a beautiful weekend!

Thursday nights at the club..."3D and Dinner"...has started for 2013. Come on out on Thursday afternoons for shooting, talking, and then dinner on Ken's porch. This is a great time to practice your skills, learn from more seasoned archers, talk about last season's hunts, plan next year's hunts, and enjoy some very fine, ol' time camaraderie. If you are new to the sport of archery or bowhunting, and are looking for a group to help you hone your skills, this is the event for you. Come on out and join the fun. Cecil, our esteemed treasurer, will gladly accept club dues every Thursday evening, and as always, dinner is $3 for singles and just $5 for families. How can you beat a deal like that???
