Birthday Parties:

Does your child enjoy archery or want to learn how to shoot?

Why not plan a party for them that incorporates the fun and excitement of archery at High Tines Archery?

All party participants will receive instruction in the art and enjoyment of archery while learning safety skills and the proper use of bows and arrows. Archery equipment is provided, but if you are a skilled archer, feel free to bring your own.

Each package is set for 10 archers.

Each additional archer can be added at an additional price of $15.

Bronze, Silver, and Gold party packages were created at a discounted rate. If you are in need of something special, call to create your own package. Ask to speak with Maria.

Standard Event Range Rules & Procedures

Our instructor will begin each party by reviewing standard range rules and procedures. The following is an overview of those rules. There may be others not stated here. As safety is not limited to just these rules and procedures – common sense also applies.

At High Tines Archery, it’s always “Safety First”!

As a party organizer, you might want to share these with your group before attending – just as a heads-up. It never hurts to reinforce safety:

• The most important rule is that archers never point an arrow at anyone at any time, even if not on the bow
• Archers keep all arrow points down inside their issued side quiver until they are called to the shooting line by the instructor AND the command word is given to start shooting
• Archers place one foot on each side of the yellow shooting line facing the correct direction as determined by their dominant eye (not handedness)
• When shooting, arrows are always pointed down range at the targets (never at the ceiling, center post, wall, side windows, lights or sprinkler)
• Should an arrow fall to the ground when loading the bow, the archer may reach for it provided it does not fall forward into another archer’s lane when that archer is shooting, AND it can be reached without crossing over the yellow shooting line
• After shooting, each archer steps back from the yellow shooting line, returns their bow to the bow rack, and remains at least five feet back of the shooting line until all archers have shot their arrows, returned their bows to the rack, AND the command words are given to retrieve arrows
• Archers always walk at a “normal pace” when retrieving arrows. Running is not permitted on the range or anywhere else in the store
• Upon retrieving arrows, archers always pick their arrows off the ground first and immediately return them to their quiver (points down), and then proceed to the target wall to collect any arrows that have been shot there
• When at the target wall, archers always check behind themselves when pulling arrows, just to be sure that no one is standing close by. Arrows are always pulled one-at-a-time, and immediately returned to the quiver (arrow points down)
• Either on or off the shooting line, an archer never pulls the string of a bow back without an arrow – NEVER. This prevents a potentially dangerous situation called a “dry fire”
