    What a beautiful day!
    Jack D.

    I'm in the East Bay so I'm not on this side of the bridge as much, but I happened to be in Pacifica for a friend's bday, so I decided to try out SF Archers in advance. Unlike some of the other outdoor ranges/field courses that are unstaffed, this spot had several very nice volunteers onhand who checked in folks and made sure newbies (like myself) knew all the rules and how to traverse the course, etc. They also had a couple different ranges (a typical multi-distance range, a long distance range, and a kiddie range), where folks can warm up before hitting the course(s). I did the "white" course, which had your typical variation of targets, distances, elevations, and slopes. There's a target that has the option of shooting at from 80 yards over a pond (lake?), which is fun if you don't mind losing an arrow or two lol. Honestly the whole course was a joy, and I was lucky that i got to experience it on a pretty day. You should check the website calendar to make sure they're open the day you want to go. Of course if you have any questions, or if you're new to archery and need some recommendations, the volunteers on hand are happy to assist! Can't wait to come back!

    First time shooting an arrow!

    This was my first time here. The entire site is managed by volunteers who love the sport and they have done a great job maintaining the land. There are 4 areas: 1 child range, 2 trails and 1 beginners area where we were. This was a corporate event so we were all given a lesson and then allowed to practice. Our instructor, Jack, was brilliant. Patient, clear and encouraging. He was a wealth of knowledge and, I must say, has given me a solid beginner's foundation to archery. I definitely want to come back!

    This past Sunday, a couple of my family members and I got together to take part in San Francisco Archer's Outreach Program which occurs every 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month. We always like to try new activities that neither of us have done before and our Archery outing was definitely an awesome experience. San Francisco Archers Outreach program is open to the public free of charge to take advantage of a little introductory archery lesson between the hours or 9am-12pm on Sundays. I've never done archery before so I had no idea what to expect. I had a feeling I wasn't going to be very good at aiming at the targets accurately. But to my surprise, after a quick individualized lesson with an instructor, I stopped aiming at the carpet and haystacks that hold up the targets and actually made it onto the target. *Yay* Lol. The introductory lesson is great because it starts off with a general pow-wow by one instructor, and then you get broken up into groups of 3-4 people with an individual instuctor. So you defintitely get great personalized information to help get you into the sport of archery. I definitely recommend folks try out the SF Archers Outrearch program every other Sunday for a little free lesson into archery! Overall, I had a fun morning with my cousins and other family members while taking part in a new activity that none of us had ever done before. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/x3zy1E3mKnIr6Z3DmUqGKA?select=uiCyVRwpHLSqOHlMD0XPSw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/x3zy1E3mKnIr6Z3DmUqGKA?select=TVkInmXTArhQM7A28Lq8gw

    My boyfriend and I have been shooting at an indoor range and were looking for a new (and cheaper) environment. SF Archers was a great spot for this. Given recent storms a lot of the ranges were closed so we only shot at the practice range at the entrance, but we were greeted by kind volunteers happy to chat with us and give us newbies all the details. You sign in, and it's $5 per person for the whole day. $60 for an annual membership. They provided targets, and there is resting equipment along the firing line. You can tell the place is being run as a labor of love. One lady that seemed to be involved in the administration was just chilling and whittling a new bow. Like, from scratch. I was in awe. They host lessons on some Sundays, we're gonna see how that goes. Now be warned, it's definitely grassroots, this place is not super polished. There are portapotties for bathrooms. But the people are kind, very down to give advice on your form, and it's a deal to get to shoot as long as you want. Can't wait to go back.

    Road sign at the gate.

    See all

    Wow, an archery field in the middle of the Golden Gate Park. Who knew?…read more Recently came here for a beginner archery session with a *socially distanced* group. One of the silver linings of the pandemic is that people are exploring all kinds of interests they've never considered before. I, for once, had never tried archery so I thought I'd give it a go. So glad I did! It was such a cool sport/activity. We rented bow and arrows and a target from a nearby shop and did practice sessions here for a couple of hours. The archery field is nicely maintained and is free to the public. It was quite busy when we came on a Saturday afternoon. All the lanes were full. However, people were courteous and all patiently waited for a lane to open. Although I was very bad at it, I felt super cool shooting arrows like I was in the Hunger Games movie or something. I'd totally come back and do it again. Highly recommend!

    Still remarkably unsafe. Went back to the GGP archery field to instruct a beginner at his request…read morethis weekend. Sunday morning, with the lanes full, there's a complete lunatic cosplaying with a horse bow and headphones, rapid shooting from waist level, from distances farther and farther back from the bale on the lane next to us. Then we notice he's actually moved off the field, behind the pedestrian walkway, and has climbed the hill behind the range to continue shooting. He's just spraying arrows, not hitting the bale, from easily 130 yards, with plenty of humans standing in the cone of fire of a casual error. This is insanely unsafe behavior. When everyone's well behaved, I'm sure GGP is fine. I just haven't seen that in a long time.
