Who are the Black Knight Bowbenders? We are a group of dedicated Archers who enjoy Field Archery, Target Archery, 3-D shooting and Bow Hunting with Modern, Recurve and / or Traditional equipment.
The Black Knight Bowbender’s were incorporated in 1959. Our Range, which we own, sits on almost 40 beautifully wooded rolling acres. Membership is limited to 125 members. We have two complete 28 target field ranges with New E-Z pull Bales and also a 14 target Traditional range. We feature a 90 meter Fita Range for Olympic style shooting. All of our ranges are challenging and perfectly maintained. We have a quality Bow Press and everything you need to tune your equipment. Our practice range goes out to 65 yards. We welcome family memberships and interested shooters of all ages.
On most Thursday evenings in the summer we are open to the public for a small donation. We work closely with youth groups and have good training equipment and qualified instructors. If you are young or old, a novice or a pro, a bowhunter or a target shooter, we welcome you. Call for details.
Our club often hosts major shoots including the now famous “Bigfoot Open” in July.
Here is a brief excerpt from our constitution:
