background info - discussion at my local club's monthly meeting - the range has been defunct for some time with minimal use - the primary use of the club is handgun shooting and trap shooting.
That said - we have an archery range, and in talking with the board of directors, they are willing to invest in it, if someone is willing to do the legwork to get things going.
We currently have 1 functional target butt
So far possible improvements I've thought of are:

So far possible improvements I've thought of are:
- Construction and installation of additional target butts to maintain a fixed shooting line, with targets spaced at 20, 30, and 40 yards.
- Designated shooting lane for longer range shooting, Single target butt, lane marked with 5 yards increments out to whatever maximum we can fit in the space 70yards??
- Amendment of range rules to allow for use of broadheads limited to a designated shooting lane constructed with an appropriate back stop (member to provide own broadhead target?) for the purpose of zeroing hunting setups.
- Construction and installation of a raised shooting platform to simulate hunting conditions - tree stand/saddle hunting etc
- Sea can or similar storage structure for target materials/archery equipment (top of which could be used for raised shooting platform with installation of stairs/railing etc)
- small 3d target course.
- Lean-to shed with tables for equipment setup/adjustment
- Bow rack for shooting line while archers are down range retrieving arrows.
- Shooting bench for zeroing of crossbows
