Club fun shoots: $5.00 everyone Target assessment fee: $50.00 Single/Family The target assessment fee will allow shooting on the 3-D range at ALL times during the week or weekends EXCEPT for when a special event is in progress such as a tournament, work day or club fun shoot. Range assessments cards will be a different color AND will be checked on the range from time to time. Without a legitimate card while on the range other than during an event is considered trespassing with a weapon while on a refuge. Remember, that when you attend the Waddill facility you are a guest of the State, Waddill and ARTAC and you MUST sign in and let a LDWF Waddill facility grounds keeper be aware of your presence. You MUST have and be able to present your current range/membership card at all times. You MUST use good judgement and be SAFE at all times. You MUST also repair any target on the range to a shootable position after you shoot. If the target is broke, then bring the target out to our target storage bin located across the road from the cabins. Think of the next member to shoot the range. Practice rounds during Tournament day: $5.00 NO practice rounds during a tournament until AFTER the archer has paid for the tournament AND competed. Just shooting the range for practice instead of competing is not allowed. Exceptions only by approval from the tournament director usually located at the registration booth. *Family is considered to be someone living in your house that you support. A guest may shoot the range during the week or weekends with a card holding member once with no charge. Second time he is required to be a member and follow all the membership rules.
