“Archery is not a sport of instant gratification. It’s a pursuit that rewards patience, practice, and perseverance.”

~ Brady Ellison, Olympic Archer

Whether you want an individual challenge or an activity to do with the whole family, Bowmen’s Archery Range is the place for you. Nestled just outside of Ponca City on Prentice Road, it is a beautiful 33 acres of sport and fun.

If you have a group or family gathering and need a good place, the location is wonderful for those who enjoy the outdoors. There are all types of archery challenges, from 30+ 3D targets to an area that allows you to measure the distance of your shot. Some of these targets are even moving ones. It also has an archery Stump Course, better known as a Survival Course. The location even boasts a couple of grills for cooking out, places for camping in tents or small- to mid-sized travel trailers, all while being lakeside for fishing as well. The 3D course is designed to improve hunters’ skills, and many targets have a scoring range for challenges between people or for contests.
