A List of the Best Archery Ranges in St. George, Utah


Most states have archery laws that make it difficult for archers to practice their sport at home or even out on their own property. Fortunately, archery ranges have popped up in most cities and towns to solve this very issue.

If you live in St. George, Utah, and are looking for a place to practice your target shooting, this article provides a few good locations where you can find both a place to shoot and a community of archery fanatics.

TNT Archery

TNT Archery claims the title of “Southern Utah’s Archery Pro Shop,” and its patrons don’t disagree.

The shop/range has four stars out of five on Google Reviews and four and a half on its Facebook page.

The reviews are well deserved and are mostly a result of the kind and knowledgeable owner, Terry Beck.

It’s clear that Terry didn’t start the shop to become a business mogul or to make stacks of cash, but to share his knowledge of archery and cultivate a welcoming environment for anyone interested in shooting a bow.

His skills aren’t just limited to the sport itself, either.

Terry has an encyclopedic knowledge of all the best equipment for every type of archer and usually keeps a well-stocked inventory so that everyone who comes into TNT Archery can find the very best in gear and accessories.

TNT carries such popular archery brands as Hoyt, Bowtech, Diamond, Octane, Easton, and more.

If you’re satisfied with your setup and are just looking for a fun place to shoot in the winter months or during your lunch break, TNT Archery can provide for that, too.

Their indoor shooting range is a spacious and safe environment for archers of all ages and skill levels.

TNT’s reasonable fee of $10 an hour is available from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.

If you try out the range and decide you want to spend more time in the environment, TNT has multiple options for the social archer.

Any archer can join one of TNT’s Indoor Archery Leagues, where you can gain access to a friendly community and even some valuable prizes for winning league competitions.

If you prefer to participate in the sport as part of a team, TNT holds a Couples League where partners can work together to rack up points.

For those looking to get more into hunting or who just prefer to shoot at a more realistic target, 3-D shooting is available as well as an accompanying league.

In summary, TNT offers basically any kind of archery or archery activity that you can think of, which is what makes it one of the best archery ranges in St. George, Utah, along with its knowledgable and friendly staff.

RedRock Bowmen & Southern Utah Shooting Sports Park

Just outside of St. George lies Hurricane, Utah.

Despite its concerning name, Hurricane is a great place to go for some recreational fun, including archery.

RedRock Bowmen is an archery club with an outdoor shooting club/range located within Southern Utah Shooting Sports Park.

The archery club has been around since 2007 and has been working with the Southern Utah Shooting Sports Park since then to provide a great outdoor location for local archers and their families.

If you live in the area, the best way to take advantage of this great shooting spot is by becoming a member.

To become a member, archers must pay the Annual Working Individual Membership fee of $70 or the Working Family Membership fee, which is $85.

Members must also earn their spot by participating in one work day per year or paying an extra $20 to keep the range maintained.

It may seem like a steep fee to pay, but most archers in the area find it worth it to have complete access to the range.

Members are allowed to use the range for free whenever they choose, while non-members are only given access to it every second and fourth Saturday of the month for a $5 entrance fee.

Another perk afforded only to members is reduced rates for the 3-D events held by the club.

Whereas non-members pay $15 for these events, members are only charged $10.

If you do attend one of RedRock Bowmen Archery Club’s 3-D archery events, you’ll be given the opportunity to shoot at a vast multitude of quality targets, 58 of which are Rhinehart.

Most of these targets will be available at some more relaxed “fun shoots” as well as the formal 3-D events.

Needless to say, RedRock Bowmen Archery Club is an ideal place to participate in the sport of archery while keeping in touch with the beautiful nature of Southern Utah.

Humphries Archery

Humphries Archery in Payson, Utah, lies well outside the St. George area, but the drive north is worth it to find this pro shop and archery range.

Like TNT, they carry a wide selection of the best quality archery equipment, including Hoyt, Bowtech, Mathews, Elite, Diamond, Mission, Bear, Gold Tip, Easton, and many more.

Though they are not as mom-and-pop as TNT, their employees are still experts in both the sport of archery and the gear involved.

As a pro shop, they have the knowledge base and the resources to help any archer with any issue or inquiry they might have.

Humphries Archery is also kid-friendly, with a specialized range just for youth in addition to their adult and advanced archers range, which measures out to 30 yards total.

The space and the employees are incredibly versatile.

Patrons can rent out the entire space for corporate events, birthday parties, or any event for a large group of people.

Frequent customers can take advantage of the fun activities Humphries Archery offers, such as TechnoHunt events, Scout group activities, and a variety of classes including merit badge classes.

Having been a pro shop for over 15 years, Humphries Archery knows how to provide for its community.

They have even spread across Utah, opening three different locations across Northern Utah to expand their community and serve more passionate archers.

Their Payson location has done well, earning 4.2 stars on Google Reviews.

If you live in the area or are just passing through, I would recommend spending some time in their facility, which is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

Stickflipper Archery

If you’re near Humphries Archery in northern Utah, you should also pay a visit to Stickflipper Archery in Lake Shore.

Stickflipper is another well-reviewed pro-shop and archery range whose staff has over 35 years of experience in the archery business.

The shop and range were founded by archery trio Rick Valdez, Shane Smith, and Clint West in the spring of 2010.

Their shop and indoor range are located in a 6,500 square-foot building, offering plenty of space for all types of archery activities.

Between their experience and their selection of Bear bows (which is the largest in the state), most customers leave satisfied.

Their indoor range spans a distance of 35 yards, the end of which is littered with quality 3-D targets to shoot at.

Taking 3-D archery a step farther, Stickflipper also offers a Big Shot target system that equates your shots on the target to their positions on various animals like elk, whitetail, and even several African animals.

Stickflipper is unique for having both an indoor and an outdoor range, the latter of which measures up to 100 yards.

It’s likely that if you come here, you’re going to want to become a member. And fortunately, they do offer that option.

As a member, archers gain access to the outdoor range whenever the weather is nice.

Non-members have access to the ranges during Stickflipper’s normal operating hours, which are from 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

Stickflipper is also a great range for archers on a budget, only charging $5 per shooter for paper and outdoor targets and $10 to shoot with the Big Shot System and with 3-D targets.

Shooting with bows and arrows in any location is a fun and rewarding activity, but being able to do so in a quality range always elevates the experience exponentially.

If you’ve never shot in an archery range before, any of these four options would be a great introduction to the community archery ranges cultivate.

What Makes a High-Quality Archery Range?

The country has many archery ranges, some being better than others. A quality range offers features and qualities that cater to the needs of their visitors to provide a fun and safe shooting experience. Some important things to look for in a quality archery range are as follows. 

Safety: The safety of their visitors should be the top priority in any archery range you visit. A range that values safety will have safety protocols and rules clearly posted for all to see. These will include designated shooting lanes and proper signs along with trained staff to monitor and enforce their rules and regulations. Safety measures such as backstops, barriers, and adequate ventilation systems should be in place to prevent accidents and ensure the well-being of participants.

Range Layout and Design: An effective range layout is crucial for archers to practice their skills comfortably. The range should have well-defined shooting lanes with sufficient space between shooters, allowing for safe and unobstructed shooting. Distances for various shooting distances should be marked, and targets should be properly positioned for easy visibility and retrieval.

Target Variety and Quality: A great archery range offers a variety of target options to cater to different archery disciplines and skill levels. This can include traditional bullseye targets, 3D animal targets, and specialty targets for specific archery styles. Targets should be well-maintained, regularly replaced or repaired, and appropriately sized and positioned to provide a fair and challenging shooting experience.

Equipment and Amenities: High-quality archery ranges provide individuals with access to quality archery equipment and amenities, including bows and arrows, shooting stands or benches, and storage areas for personal gear.

Instruction and Coaching: A great archery range may offer instructional classes or coaching services for people of any skill level. Qualified instructors or teachers should provide training and tips to help archers improve their form, accuracy, and technique. Their main goal is to contribute to the growth and development of archers at any skill level.

Community and Atmosphere: A positive and welcoming atmosphere can greatly enhance the overall experience at an archery range. A great range fosters community, encouraging archers to connect, share knowledge, and support each other’s progress. Organized events, competitions, or social gatherings can help build this community spirit and create a vibrant archery culture.

Accessibility and Convenience: Convenient location, sufficient parking, and low range fees contribute to the accessibility and attractiveness of an archery range. Range hours that accommodate various schedules, including evenings and weekends, can cater to a wider range of archers.
