One of the few things in SF that is actually free ;) Grab your gear and head down here. They have a few lanes that are protected from the westerly winds and sunny most of the day which makes it a nice day out activity with some friends!

Really fun archery range with a very friendly group of regulars. I learned a bit about archery here and this activity always lowers my stress level. Very peaceful early morning. I wish the city with the vast amount of OUR tax dollars would do their job with replacing bales and maintaining the field instead of relying on good people volunteering their time and money. Damn shame.

This is a great archery range, it's protected from westerly winds and usually enjoys lots of sunny days. There are a handful of us who use lanes 7, 8 and 9 and help maintain the range, repair target bales at least twice a year. There is posted set of 10 rules as you enter the range of do's and don'ts and not allowed. One of these rules says FIELD POINTS ONLY. Yet there are those who insist on throwing knives, spears, Atlatls, broadheads and yes, even crossbows (which are illegal to discharge inside city limits) and as result the bales get torn up quicker. For those of you who are interested in volunteering to help repair the bales, maintain the range contact SF Park and Rec. The ONLY thing that sf park and Rec does for the range is water and cut the grass. THAT'S IT!!! The cost of repairing of bales is thru donations from a very small group of archers who frequent the range and some of the instructors who holds classes there. The City does NOT help with cost. So, the next time you decide to use the range, remember that it's folks like yourself who keep it running so ALL can enjoy this little jewel in Golden Gate Park!

It's a fun place to shoot some arrows. Though the targets are pretty beat up and hollow from all the bits and pieces being taken out of it. And if you miss, you risk shooting your arrows into the trees or bushes which can be a pain to find. Nonetheless, it is a popular and free place to enjoy some shooting.

The lanes are all first come first serve.
You mean Irish John? I haven't seen him at the range for years now.
Free. First come first serve municipal range. There is no fixed shooting line. People stand as close or as far from the target as they want. There are other ranges in the Bay area that have a fixed shooting line. Not everyone is comfortable with this arrangement, though it is not uncommon at some other target ranges in California. No lights. No indoor range.
There is no onsite equipment rental. goldengatejoad.com offers classes on Saturday mornings (advance sign up required), equipment included. Bows can be rented from San Francisco Archery, a store a number of blocks from the range ( http://www.bysel.com/sfarch/ ) - call in advance to make sure the store is open as the owner might be at the range. The range is free, first come first serve serve. It gets busy on weekends.
