Hello

I was wondering what state in the US had the most archery ranges and archery shops?

Thank you

I really don't know and I doubt any one else knows.. We have clubs that are members of one organization and members of multiple organizations. Two that I know of, one is a ASA and IBO member club and the other is a ASA and NFAA member club.
We have many clubs that aren't members of any organization.

The last I checked under the ASA; Texas is #1 for number of clubs and Illinois is #2. I'd have to check, but the total would be near 50 clubs for the two states....

Here in Texas, we are truly blessed with the number of ranges shops!

There is plenty of places in Alabama some public aswell as clubs

Texas was my immediate guess when I read the question based on size, population, culture, etc.

8 archery ranges within 60 miles of me here in Ca

Georgia used to have more ranges and shops. Now I'd have to find and join a private club to get a decent archery range. There are a few public ranges at WMAs, but most max at 40 yards. Now, I just go to my 40 range in my backyard. I usually buy everything archery related online. When I want to shoot out to 80, I take some targets to National Forest land.

No idea, but I'll take a wild guess and say Pennsylvania.

1, it's a huge state 2, home of the first archery club in America to exist, 3, Lancaster Archery, 4, very rural state with tons of hunting areas and private farm land to hunt. 5., lots of wildlife to hunt, including deer, bear, elk, turkey, mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, etc.

Hawaii for sure.

Some rumors once in awhile about mountain lion sightings but no real evidence such as cell cam pics.

let me eliminate North Carolina and Tennessee, i'd love for some more to be in the area! there just doesn't seem to be a big enough following of archers local to me

 

[raisins]

hardly any public ranges in wv because they figure you'll just shoot in your backyard, which messes up people that live in towns

IMHO it would be states that are heavily populated where people have to go to them. I know we had one on every street corner in the 90's........but those days are gone.
