Just got back from the spfga range for the first time and it was a blast. Me and the wife spent the afternoon out there on the archery range. They did an amazing job setting up the 3d course. We had a ton of fun and cant wait to get the kids out there. Great job to all the people that make that happen!! Going to be spending loads of time out there this summer i figure!

Was out there on friday and the bugs were, to put it nicely, atrocious.
Almost quit halfway through the 3D course but decided it would be good practice. Haha!
But its an awesome course this year and still really enjoyed it.

SPFGA has the best 3D course around in my opinion. The people who set it up do an amazing job! Joining the club is well worth it, and pretty inexpensive for the general membership.

Go to the website or call the membership chair. The gun range inclusive memberships are capped and that cap has been met. The general membership that also includes the archery range has no cap, and is well priced!

Glad you enjoyed the course. Get yourself a Thermocell unit for mosquitos. If you buy the harness, you can attach it to your quiver or belt and it will keep mosquitos away for about 2 - 3 yards from you. Those shooting with you will obviously benefit from it too! We use two or three around the RV and they work great.

No I think they need to be members to carry insurance, general memberships are cheap and not capped.
