LET US KNOW YOU’RE COMING

Hello, San Diego Archers!
Please join us for a work party this Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to noon. A little spring cleaning to dress up our Rube Powell Archery Range.

Start time: 8:00 (or as early as you can make it)

    • Supplies & tools (If you have them, we would appreciate it if you could bring them!)
    • Weed Whacker and String
    • Tree Loppers / Pruning Shears / Tree Saw
    • Safety Glasses / Face Shield
    • Gloves / Long Pants, Long Sleeves, and Boots recommended
    • Paint brushes / Paint Rollers (we have some)
    • We have a pitchfork, a few rakes & shovels (or bring your favorite!)
Tasks:
  • Clear all shooting lanes and areas around targets. This will make locating arrows easier and speed up the shoot.
  • Repair/replace bales on the practice range and course targets as needed.
  • Consolidate green waste near the lower container.
  • Paint over any graffiti on the lower container and bridge.

Let us know of anything we forgot.

Thanks everyone!

Our two fantastic archery ranges would not be in Balboa Park without the support of our loyal volunteer.
