Wish some of these ranges would have more then 20 yards.  I have one around the block from my house, its nice to go shoot from time to time.

I heard that there is another one in Brooklyn.  I have looked around on the internet but can't seem to find it.

Thrill of the Hunt in Calverton has distances ranging from 15 to 40 yards and one of the setups is off a platform.  Great place but  a little pricey!

Yeah we did a group event out there two years ago. Was fun.

I always went to Queens archery which was close to where I grew up. It was a pain to make the trip these days. This is pretty close to my house. Hopefully they have a hunting league. This is great news

This is great news. I work 10 blocks away. Finally. It will probably be mobbed with people though.

I missed that one because I was out of town.  We need to schedule another one.

I thought there was an archery range at Floyd Bennet Field?

I shoot indoors at C&B Archery in Hicksville.  It's maxed at 20yds. 

 

FYI- If anyone wants to shoot in Field Tournaments or 3D tournaments, you can shoot at Suffolk Archers in Dix Hills.  It's an awesome archery club and they open their tournaments to non-members for a fee of about $30.  There are tournaments nearly every Sunday.  Check the Suffolk Archers website for a schedule of tournaments.

Floyd Bennet  does have one.  From the website:

 

Archery: The Floyd Bennett Field Archery Range is an outdoor range with 8-10 targets set at various distances and a covered platform from which to shoot.. Crossbows and hunting tips are prohibited. The range is accessible to persons with disabilities. Call 718-338-3799 for more information.

 

I believe you need a permit to access it though.

 

Staten Island also has an outdoor archery range at Willowbrook Park.  You can shoot up to 50 yards there, iirc, but it is BYOTarget.

Floyd Bennet is nice for outdoors they have targets out to about 80 or 90 yards and depending on when you go it aint that bad. dawn till dusk and you need a permit that runs from jan to dec for 50 bucks.
