Upcoming Events
January 11 – Monthly 3D Shoot
- On Sunday, January 11th we will host our first Monthly 3D Shoot of the 2026 season, this month held on a Sunday. For 4 years we’ve been alternating these shoots between Saturdays and Sundays, and based on positive feedback we will continue this for the 2026 season.
- This will be an 9:00 am shotgun start. Click HERE for general info and rules regarding our 3D shoots.
- Click HERE to register for the shoot.
- NOTE – For safety reasons both the Bowhunter 3D and Field Archery Courses will be closed during the shoot. Members will still have access to both the Upper and Lower Static Ranges throughout the entire day. Visitors are welcome to visit with Club volunteers at the Clubhouse during all Monthly 3D Shoots, for Q&A and tours of the facility.
- Prizes for the Monthly Shoots and Season Long Shootout have not yet been finalized, but will again be sponsored this year by Archery Country. Stay tuned.
March 21 & 22 – Texas ASA Qualifier
- We requested a March date for our 2026 Qualifier, as past Februarys have often included some less than desirable weather. Fingers crossed that this Vernal Equinox will be a great weekend for archery!
- Reminder – There are NO crossbow classes at this location, because PARD does not allow crossbow use.
- Both Saturday & Sunday the tournament will begin at 10:00 am with a Shotgun Start. Traditional shooters have the option to start at 8:00 am if they choose.
- Preregistration and additional information (including Texas ASA links) will be made available in March.

General Notifications
*** BROADHEADS ***
- Club Rules
- “The following items/activities are Not Permitted:”
- “Broadheads (including Broadhead Simulators)”
- “The violation of any rule or the Safety Policy may result in temporary suspension of Club access privileges, up to and including permanent termination of Membership.”
- Safety Policy
- “Broadheads and broadhead simulators (aka – practice broadheads) are prohibited.”
- Our managers and volunteers are finding increasing evidence of broadhead use at the Club. A significant increase in broadhead damage to both 3D and bag targets is requiring their replacement at a greater frequency. Hunting season is approaching, so we don’t expect broadhead usage to decrease at this time, but instead it is likely to go up dramatically.
- Broadheads have ALWAYS been prohibited at the Club. This is a serious SAFETY issue, costs YOUR Club excess funds, and violates the Use Agreement in place with City of Austin Parks & Recreation. As such, The AAC has little choice but to take more drastic steps than simply emailing notices to the membership. To that end, the following measures are now in effect:
- Multiple cameras have been strategically placed on the property. They will be periodically moved to different locations across the entire facility.
- We’re asking that if anyone sees the use of broadheads to report specific date/time/location/vehicle/etc details using the Contact page. DO NOT confront someone you suspect is using broadheads, but instead submit a Range Safety Report to us.
- Our managers will be inspecting all targets for broadhead damage on a much more frequent basis. Target evidence and member reports, in correlation with camera recordings and gate access logs, will be used to determine specific members who did or may have violated this important safety rule.
- If conclusive evidence finds that a member has used a broadhead at The AAC, there will be no first offense warning, that member’s membership will be indefinitely suspended.
