The town of Windsor on Monday celebrated the expansion of its public archery range, including a 3D archery course, new block targets and raised target platforms.
Residents and visitors from across the region explored the expanded range, which features target shooting from 10 yards to 65 yards at the corner of Poudre Trail Drive and Colo. 257. The new 3D course along the Poudre River features 17 animal targets. Among the other additions were six new block targets, two raised target platforms including one with ADA accessibility and a shelter for classes. Crews also made improvements to the parking lot and trail.
“I am certain that this project will make Windsor a destination for archery on the Front Range,” Windsor Public Services Director Eric Lucas said in a news release.
Since the well-attended opening, Lucas has heard from people as far away as Texas wanting to know more about range improvements, he said.
Many have also asked whether or not classes will be provided. Lucas said the expansion will enable the Parks, Recreation and Culture department to expand program offerings in terms of lessons, leagues and tournaments starting in 2023.
The range is open sunrise to sunset seven days a week throughout the year. Entrance to the range is free.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife awarded a Colorado Shooting Range Development Grant in February 2020, covering $100,000 of the $130,000 total cost of the expansion. The town also received in-kind donations from FCI Constructors, Corbel Engineering and Traverse Builders LLC.
