Indoor/Outdoor Archery Range

The archery complex at Bunker Hills Regional Park offers a variety of choices for archers of all interests. The indoor range operates year-round with open shoots, leagues, lessons, and tournaments.  In addition, the indoor range offers a kitchen, meeting rooms and rest rooms.

The outdoor area of the complex includes a field tip range with bales set at distances ranging from 10 yards on up to 90 meters.  A broad-head tip range provides various distances for bow hunters.  Three different walk-through ranges include 56 bales at national field archery association standard distances.  One of the walk-through loops is accessible to 14 stations.

The outdoor ranges are available from 6:00 a.m. to 30 minutes after sunset, March through November and closed during the cross-country ski season (generally December through February).  The indoor range has scheduled hours staffed by the Rapids Archery Club.  Hours can be found at their web site www.rapidsarchery.org.   Indoor and outdoor tournaments are offered year-round and sponsored by the club.  Most of these events are open to everyone.

Cost for using any of the ranges is $3.00 per visit, per person.  An annual pass is offered by the parks and recreation department, and the pass is good for outdoor range use and for indoor range open shooting.  The cost is $60 per person, and can be purchased by contacting the parks and recreation office at 763-757-3920.

Youth and adult lessons are offered to the public.  Check the department’s Activity Guide or the Rapids Archery Club’s web site for details.

During the winter a skijoring trail traverses through the outdoor ranges.  Skijoring is cross-country skiing behind dogs.  Five miles of trail are groomed for skijoring.
