Archery
The New Archery Range is Open and Ready For Use!
On May 12, 2012, The new archery range was completed!
Club member Dane Donato designed this archery range. After review of Dane's plan by the FCSC Finance and Range and Safety Committees, and approval by the Club's Board of Directors, work progressed quickly, thanks to volunteers Jon Rutka, Dane Donato, Mark St. Amand, Scott Conti, Joe Dagilus, Chris Roberts, Greg Olchowski, Greg Isles and Steve Kelsey.
On April 6, 2012, the backstop fence was completed under the direction of club member and veteran fence builder Jon Rutka. 
The club bought two large bag targets, two smaller bag targets and one large 3D deer. Greg Isles and Steve Kelsey designed and built the target stands for the bag targets.
