Archery is an ancient practice. According to records, the first bow and arrow go back at least as far as 50,000 BC. Practicing a proper draw can strengthen your body, specifically the upper body. Arms, hands, chest and your core are all being used when you draw a bow. Since the tension of these muscles is typically maintained for several seconds before releasing the string, archery has been frequently compared to lifting weights, because it leads to muscle development in most of the muscle groups of the upper body. But there are yet other lessons to learn from archery. Patience and focus, two abilities that seem increasingly difficult to develop and maintain in our contemporary life, are essential for its practice.
At Three Forks Ranch, we are constantly looking to provide new experiences for our guests — our archery range is no exception. Unlike typical flat archery ranges, our 3D archery range takes guests into the beautiful landscape surrounding Three Forks Ranch, where you can try your hand at various angles of field archery and new ways to have fun with a bow and arrow.
3D archery gets its name from the three-dimensional animal targets at each of the 13 stations. These targets range in size from small skunks to large elk, allowing guests to challenge themselves.
Each target helps guests challenge their shooting abilities and gives them the chance to mimic the many scenarios they'd face in real-life hunting situations. While target archery offers realistic practice, all guests can enjoy the fun challenge it provides as they sharpen their skills.
Learn from our expert guides as you try your hand at our 13-station archery course. After honing your skills, unwind at our lodge as you enjoy healthy and delicious chef-made meals and cocktails. When you're ready to call it a night, rest in one of our luxurious private accommodations.
