I added my range, Kent. Thanks!
Editable map of Ranges
OK. A while back I posted an editable map of shops that sell Olympic Recurve equipment. A few locations have been added by adventurous folks, primarily in Europe.
Now it's time to help address those "I'm going to be in area X. What ranges are available?" questions.
I've created a publicly-editable map of archery range locations. I've given people a head start by putting in many (most?) Colorado archery ranges.
When editing, please make sure to put in the most accurate information possible. I've included enough attribute fields that most international archers should be able to enter address information, so if you're not in the USA, feel free to add locations.
IMPORTANT:
1. Make sure you enter a value in the Type field. Acceptable values are: Indoor, Outdoor, or Indoor/Outdoor. This is spelling and case sensitive, so be careful. If you enter this wrong or omit it, your point will be symbolized weird. If you make a mistake, no worries - just edit it.
2. Be a good citizen. Don't edit/delete something unless you're certain that the information or location is wrong. If I see abuse, I'll just disable editing.
Now, for the link:

I'll be interested to see how many people take advantage of this. Edit away, people!

Good news to those who want to edit this map. It looks like I've found the settings that make it so you don't even need an ArcGIS.com account to edit it.
Please make sure to include all the information you can. Simply dropping a point on the map is a good start, but unless you provide address information, others won't be able to find it as easily.
Oh, and a tip - you can switch the basemap to imagery so you can see buildings/parking lots in order to place your location more accurately.
Thanks to those who have already contributed!

Thanks for setting this up. Hopefully this helps people as their traveling (or moving) to a new area.Please make sure to include all the information you can. Simply dropping a point on the map is a good start, but unless you provide address information, others won't be able to find it as easily.

I've added a bunch of Chicago. So it's my fault, guys, if your details are wrong (or right).

The beauty of it is that if anyone sees an incorrect detail they can fix it. Thanks for adding the info.I've added a bunch of Chicago. So it's my fault, guys, if your details are wrong (or right).

My fast "perusing" eyes gave me quite a start and I immediately clicked onto this thread thinking that I was about to view a bizarre discussion concerning "Edible Maps of Ranges".
I am relieved to find that sanity prevails (although now have begun to doubt my own!).
Carry on.
I am relieved to find that sanity prevails (although now have begun to doubt my own!).
Carry on.
Right now I'm moving over the locations from the "Online Map of Shops That Carry Olympic Archery Gear" map (http://bit.ly/1z85PsS) for locations that I can verify have archery ranges. If I notice nearby ranges while I research these shops, I'm adding them.
If you feel like spending a few minutes to add your favorite range, please do so. I'm discovering that even Google doesn't know about all the ranges around.

I just added the range I go to
Just a quick reminder for those who are adding range locations.
As I said in my first post, you must include a range type. The ONLY acceptable values are:
Also, please include address information if you have it.
Since previously the locations would vanish if an incorrect range type was entered, I have now included a symbol that indicates "Type Missing". That way, you can have a visual reminder if you add a range and make a typo on the range type.
Thanks to all who are contributing!

It has been brought to my attention that this application doesn't really work well on tablets and mobile devices. For those of you wishing to use it there (and for those who want to see a different web map application approach), try this app instead:

For those of you using a desktop, you can choose which app you want to use:

Well, I've added a few more that I can verify, but some assistance would be helpful. If you don't feel up to adding the location in the web map yourself, just post the address, website, and info here.
Thanks!

added a few in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I'll sit down and do more as I find time.

Just added two more in Riverside CA, Thanks.
Great site. I added Wilcox Bait and Tackle in Newport News, Va.
After a few flurries of activity, action has died down on the map. So far over 150 ranges have been added, but I'm sure that a lot are missing. If you have time and interest, feel free to add ranges you know about. Thanks!

There are a great deal of "private" ranges that may not have members that frequent here. I can add some of the ones in our area but I don't have the time to pursue the range access policies for those ranges. How would you like to designate these for people that want to pursue the possibility of joining the clubs that run these ranges?
For now, I'll just add the locations and website info.
