Join us the Saturday before Halloween (10/29) from 5 pm – 8 pm for open shooting, pizza, and soda. We will have our range set up with REAL PUMPKINS, (fake) zombie targets, and other fun targets for the kids (and adults). We are looking for this to be a great way to get your whole family out to the range to enjoy a sport together (all shooters must be at least 7 years old and if under 18 youth waiver is required). Rental equipment is included in the entry fee, so don’t worry if you or a family member (or an out-of-town family member) don’t have a bow to shoot. We do have limited spots for this event to ensure there is room on the range for everyone to shoot so you are encouraged to purchase your spot in advance.
Space is limited so please reserve your spot ASAP with the link below.

We are moving to a new location on March 29th, so to celebrate our last weekend in the old building we are hosting an all weekend tournament.
We are tired of stepping around 10+ years of archery store clutter, so we are having a garage sale (in our party room). Includes old merchandise, store fixtures, shop equipment, etc. Prices will be reduced every few days for the next couple of weeks.
We are open. All range activities and leagues have resumed.
The safety of our staff and customers is our number one priority, so as we reopen our store and range for walk-in business we will be taking the required precautions for COVID-19. As part of these precautions, we will be doing extra sanitization on our common surfaces and rental equipment and ensuring there is proper space on the range for social distancing.
We apologize for any inconvenience these precautions may cause.
If you need to reschedule a reservation that was canceled due to the required closure or have any questions or concerns feel free to contact us by calling and leaving a message at 763-208-5717 or emailing us at shop@averagejoesarchery.com.
