Bears on Property: Several bears have been sighted on Algonquin property and have damaged several 3-D targets. Some targets have been removed to prevent their damage. There are still 3-D targets to shoot at.
A deer starts at the first Field butt. Then follow course to Buffalo, then wolf. As you walk from wolf there is a boar where trail from wolf meets clubhouse trail Then go towards clubhouse and there are 2 animals at different points on the right side marked with red stake with flag. Continue to platform. There are 5 targets that can be shot from the platform AND/OR the ground where you pick your own shooting position. Along the fence that separates the practice range from the parking field there is a deer target, a wolverine is in the woods separating club from Quanapaug Trail. The next target is a cougar at the end of the Olympic/ JOAD shooting line. Targets are marked with Red Stake with flag. Pick your shooting position. Ther are also 3-D targets at the practice range..

ON GOING ITEMS
*BE ALERT----SAFETY FIRST
As an archery club, we are very fortunate to have an Indoor Range and 2 outdoor courses on our property: 3-D & Field, . All members need to remember that multiple archers, can be on any of the courses, at any given time.
** SAFETY ALWAYS COMES FIRST
Also, for your awareness, you may see hunters on the property. Do not be alarmed, as these are club members that have permission to bow hunt deer and turkey.
Have fun, Stay Alert, and be aware of other shooters at all times. *
