Lee County Archers, Inc. is a tax exempt Florida Corporation. As stated in
our By-law, our objectives are: to support the goals and maintain membership in
the NFAA and FAA; to conduct archery competitions in accordance with FAA
rules; to offer membership to all archers who request it; to offer instruction
to all archers who seek it; to provide a social forum and practice site for all
members.
We lease a large portion of Nalle Grade County Park from the
Lee County Park Department for our home range. We maintain a 28
target Field Range, 40 lanes with earthen berms for our 3-D shoots, and a
lighted 20 yard range and lighted 30 to 70 yard sight in range.
Our entire range is "archer friendly" ---- very few arrows
are lost on our range. We have one of the best facilities in the state. The
range is open to the public on Thursdays. On the first Sunday of the month
we hold a target shoot, usually an American 900, and on the third Sunday of the
month we hold 3-D competition. Both are open to the public for a
nominal fee. Thursdays are the best times to look the range over, talk to the
members, have the range rules explained, and decide if you would like to join.
The club prides itself on being a truly inclusive club. We have active members
in all categories of the sport, from longbow to compound/freestyle. As a member
you are given a key and combination to the locks and can use the range at any
time.
There are certified NFAA an NAA instructors in the
club and many other true experts in all fields of archery who can
help. Please talk with us before you start buying equipment. The most
common mistake we see is new bows with 60 to 70 pound draw weights. It's
usually followed by, "I want to hunt with it." Hunt what, there are no
cape buffalo in Florida. Or "thats all they had", and "you'll
grow into it". Yea, and my favorite, "hey guys, watch this."
The club publishes a newsletter on alternate months which is
sent to all members and will also now be available on our web site.
