Silver Springs Archery Range

This facility offers archery enthusiasts a vast selection of ranges and targets to accommodate a wide variety of shooting disciplines and skill levels.

The primary focus of the range is on three-dimensional (3D) targets – lifelike foam animal targets placed in woodland settings to simulate a hunting environment for archers. The Silver Springs Archery Range boasts 2 complete 3D ranges with 15 targets apiece as well as a year-round 3D practice range with up to 15 additional targets.

These are the official targets used by the Archery Shooters Association (ASA), a national organization which organizes a full schedule of tournaments and operates chapters in 30 states, with approximately 7,000 members in total.

The Silver Springs Archery Range also features a four-target, Olympic-style range with targets set between 20 and 100 yards, with additional targets to accommodate speed bow and crossbow shooting.

This facility operates in partnership with the Silver Springs Archery Club, a community organization that offers tournaments, events and educational experiences. As a local member of the Archery Shooters Association, the Silver Springs Archery Club aims to take advantage of Marion County’s mild winters to expand the ASA’s tournament schedule. Event organizers hope this facility will provide a “winter home” and a tournament destination for archery enthusiasts nationwide.
