SAN FRANCISCO ARCHERS, INC. is a nonprofit organization that promotes archery at all levels of ability and age. The club is run by volunteer officers that are elected annually by the membership. The membership year starts January 1.


The Club is affiliated with these organizations: National Field Archery Association (NFAA), California Bow Hunters (CBH), State Archery Association (SAA), and Northern California Field Archery Association (NCFAA). We are a Chartered Club of the NFAA and our ranges are certified championship NFAA outdoor field courses. Membership in these organizations not required, but is encouraged in order to support archery and bowhunting at state and national levels. Informationand applications are available in the Clubhouse.

You should submit your application and a check for the appropriate amount (see dues schedule below) at a Board Meeting (currently the first Monday of any month at 7:30 p.m.) or a work party (9:00 a.m. on the Saturday before the second Sunday of any month). Otherwise, submit your application by mail or drop it off at the clubhouse. New Memberships are subject to approval by the Board and you must attend one work party (or perform 4 hours of work on arrangement with the Range Captain) before being considered for approval. Once your membership has been approved, you will receive your membership tag and other materials. Clubhouse keys may be requested after completion of your third work party.


As a member, you are expected to participate in three (3) scheduled work parties per year (inclusive of special work parties for club-sponsored shoots--Cabin Fever, Traditional Rendezvous, and 1,000,000 B.C.). It takes many hours of work to maintain the range in working order for the benefit and safety of all members. No member is exempt from participating in work parties. As mentioned above, if you cannot attend the scheduled work parties, contact the Range Captain to make arrangements within your schedule.


Club Shoots are held on the second Sunday of each month starting at approximately 9:00 a.m. and are open to all club members. Club Shoots usually consist of 28 targets and are classified as an NFAA sanctioned competition. Therefore, NFAA members are eligible to earn NFAA award pins and patches. Join your fellow club members for some friendlycompetition, camaraderie and to enjoy the fruits of your labors on the range. General Club Meetings are scheduled periodically during the year when member input is needed on club issues. They are usually scheduled either immediately after a work party or Board meeting. General Club Meetings are announced in the Arrow, the official club newsletter which is issued monthly. The Arrow contains of a calendar of club events, clubnews, articles, and items of interest which are contributed by members.
