Welcome to Capitol City Bowmen Archery Club, a welcoming and family-oriented organization that has been an integral part of the Olympia area since 1956. Boasting a proud and storied heritage, we have been dedicated to fostering the sport of archery across both local and state communities. As a chartered member of the Washington State Archery Association (WSAA) and the National Field Archery Association (NFAA), we are deeply committed to the growth and advancement of archery. Additionally, we actively support the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP), helping to inspire and engage the next generation of archery enthusiasts.
Our club enthusiastically welcomes archers of all ages and skill levels to join us and immerse themselves in the joy of this timeless sport. Whether you’re a seasoned expert or a newcomer eager to learn, you’ll find a supportive community and a stunning environment to practice and grow your passion for archery. We have a 100 yard practice range as well as an extensive 3D trail range that wanders through out the property. We offer some trail shoots with as many as 100 targets.
Spanning an expansive 140 acres, our facility is set within breathtaking, wooded terrain that provides unparalleled views of the magnificent Black River Valley and the majestic Black Hills. Surrounded by nature’s beauty, the area is alive with dense greenery and diverse wildlife, creating a serene and tranquil setting that feels like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The peaceful ambiance is ideal for relaxation and enjoying the great outdoors while refining your skills. You can also take in the abundant wildlife that wanders throughout the property. We are also a wildlife preserve. So no hunting on property.
The charm of our location evolves with the passing seasons, ensuring that each visit offers a distinctive and memorable experience. In autumn, the hills come alive with a vibrant palette of reds, oranges, and golds, while winter casts a magical spell with its pristine, snow-covered landscape. Spring and summer bring an explosion of colorful flowers and lush, verdant foliage, making the surroundings feel vibrant and full of life. No matter the time of year, the ever-changing scenery promises to inspire and captivate, making every trip to our facility truly unforgettable.
We share the facility with our host club, Capitol City Rifle & Pistol Club.
