Archery
The Archery facilities include a well lit, 16 lane, 20 yard indoor range and a 14 target, 10-80 yard outdoor range.
Special rules change regarding crossbows, 4/3/11.
The club's backstops are not designed to stop crossbow bolts. Bolts completely pass through and hit the wall on the indoor range. Other bolts get embedded up to the nock in the backstop and removal causes damage to the backstops.

To shoot crossbows at SCCSFA, members must bring their own Ballistic Box target. They are available at Bear Archery in Bear, DE or at Dick's Sporting Goods for $60.00. They allow for easy removal of bolts. Send questions to Ray at archery@sccsfa.org. The manufacture's website is here: http://bigshottargets.com/.
