In order to maintain the grounds and targets of the San Francisco Archers club, we host monthly work parties. It occurs the second Saturday of each month from 9 – 12pm.  We provide donuts & coffee plus lunch to all our workers.  For major tournaments, we hold a special work party just before the tournament. (See our Calendar for the most recent dates.)

It’s takes a lot of work to maintain San Francisco Archers! Since our club is outdoors, Mother Nature can take its toil, especially during bad weather.

The Range Captain carefully determines what work needs to be done. This work includes (but is not limited to):

  • Replacing hay bales.
  • Raking the trails or picking up litter along the Red, White & Blue Range, practice range & kiddie range.
  • Mowing the grass.
  • Cleaning and maintaining the Clubhouse and surrounding buildings.
  • Trimming trees for loose branches.
  • Making paper targets (glue’ing onto cardboard)
  • Replacing used paper targets.
  • Repairing existing 3D targets.

99% of all of range maintenance is done by our member volunteers!

We out source any dangerous jobs that require qualified technicians and workers.

All members are required to fulfill a certain number of hours in maintaining the range and helping out at the club.  Prospective members are also required to join a work party as a contingency for their membership. We also welcome any member of the public who would like to volunteer to help maintain our range. For anyone with a disability who are unable to do some of the heavier tasks, we can work with you. Some tasks do not require heavy lifting, such as glue’ing paper targets or helping at the Registration Desk during tournaments. Arrangements can be made with the Range Captain to put in their hours outside of the “scheduled” maintenance days.
