You used to be able to shoot at Cowtown, but they lost their range in Ft Worth...look up MesquiteArchery Club, Morgan Mills Archery Club, Eastland Archery Club, ...good luck...losing Cowtown will leave a great big hole in the archery community.

COWTOWN is GONE??!! I can't believe it. What happened? It is a sad thing - they did a lot to promote archery in the state.
Tracey, there is a light explaination on their website. Seems like the city needs to develop the land more than they need natural areas. Lotsa clubs around here are in troulbe of losing locations due to development. Here is a link to them:
One good thing about BCAC - we are on an old city dump that can never be used for development. We lease it for $1 per year and we allow different city departments use of it - though we are not required to.
The fire dept uses it to train for search and rescue, the parks department uses it for orienteering and other outdoor stuff, etc.
Man I'm sorry to hear about Cowtown .
Hey Glenn, We still have 20-30 targets up here that are sitting in a barn. Maybe we can get something going up here around Gainesville? I just ran out of people to ask for land.

Ok how did I miss this? During the offseason I spend a couple evenings a week out there... guess I won't this spring. I remember shooting there as a kid.... this stinks. I hope we can find some new land pronto.
Cowtown is not shutting down..looking for new acreage and Irving has offered to help them with their needs for shoots until one is found
I joined Texas State Longbow Association this year with my $50 since I shoot trad tournaments as have a lot of the Cowtown trad shooters
Important Announcement: Cowtown Bowmen has been at our current location for almost 50 years, but will need to relocate for 2007. The City of Fort Worth has offered to renew our lease for $141,048.00 a year or easy monthly payments of $11,754.00 per month. Obviously a Non-profit Archery Club can not afford these prices. The City has offered us no other property on any help in finding a new location. Our club will continue just as it has for the past 50 years. We just need a new Range for practice and tournaments. Club Meetings will still be the third Thursday of the month. If you know of any available property in the Fort Worth or adjacent areas please contact one of our Officers.
We will no longer have use of the current Range/Property on Heron Drive after December 31, 2006.
* Since we can not provide a practice range at this time our Membership Fees may be adjusted for the first part of 2007. Please wait to Renew your Membership or Join until the 2007 fees have been posted. Our 2007 Membership Fees will be posted as soon as possible.
