Redwood Bowmen is field archery range in the midst of redwoods in Oakland where kids and grown-ups can practice shooting arrows at outdoor targets.
The official program of archery classes at Redwood Bowmen starts at age 10, but younger children can participate with parents if they are mature. For enrolled students, Redwood Bowmen supplies equipment, however during drop-in practice hours, you must bring your own bow and arrow.
Technically, it’s free to practice, but there is a suggested donation box located outside the clubhouse to use the archery range. They suggest $5 per visit.
Observe the rules. Beginner classes are available.
