Mission: We are a club whose members are dedicated to the sport of archery.  We currently shoot at the archery field located at Cedar Creek Park in Wantagh (Long Island, New York), 1/4 mile east of Wantagh Parkway on Merrick Rd.  The field has multiple shooting stations with actual distances varying out to 90 meters.

2011 SHOOTS:  In 2011 the club is hosting six events during the months of April through October.  The summer schedule has been designed to accommodate the needs of archers who are preparing for either regional or national competitions as well as those who just like to shoot casually.  

SPECIAL EVENTS: Nassau Bowmen will provide information on upcoming events, including JOAD competitions, as it becomes available, please check back on this page for updates.

PRACTICE SESSIONS:  We have also scheduled eighteen practice sessions between April and October.  These will be conducted every Saturday on which there is no shoot otherwise scheduled, between 10am and 2pm.  Club members may use all of the club equipment and targets free of charge during any of these periods.  Non-members pay a fee of $5.00 per archer per day for the use of the club's equipment and targets.  This helps defray the cost of the equipment maintenance and the building rental.

NOVICE SHOOTERS:  For novice shooters, we have designated the last practice Saturday of each month as a shooter's clinic.  While you can probably receive assistance on any practice date, we will have the field staffed on these dates specifically to ensure that you get the assistance that you need.  There is no charge for this for club members. Novice shooters should also try to attend at least a couple of shooting events.  If you are not up to shooting at the predetermined ranges, we will adjust the target distance for you.  This is a great way to sharpen your skills.

Childrens' Playground:  Many people using the playground are expressing an interest in archery for their children.  Please set a good example of safety and sportsmanship when using the field and offer to help any newcomer who is interested in our sport.
