Welcome to the Clifton Archery Club

clifton archeryThe Clifton Archery Club is a non-profit organization and is located just outside of Clifton, Texas, on 66 acres of varied terrain consisting of cedar breaks, mesquite trees, oak trees with hills and valleys.  The club was organized and is dedicated to promote, encourage and foster the sport of archery, archer's education and act as a liaison for the betterment of archers.  We also strive to function as a clearing house for essential archery information and to assist and foster the conservation of archery.  All work and administration is volunteer and there are no paid employees.  The club operates and maintains a large range consisting of practice targets and a 1.5 mile 30 target 3D IBO course.  Club monies are spent in the furthering of the sport of archery and bowhunting by purchasing targets, range upkeep, supporting 4-H archery, teaching our youth safety and responsibility , etc. 

We are excited to report that the Clifton Archery Club has accomplished its goals set out for the 2005 year.  The Clifton Archery Club is totally debt-free, we have achieved non-profit organization status, we have acquired 20 targets from the Winter Nationals Shoot that were used only for that tournament, we have made improvements to the archery range, implemented a newly designed logo and signs in front of the range, implemented an Educational Committee, had 3 members that volunteer with the Bosque County 4-H Archery project become level 1 certified instructors and continue to help support the local county 4-H archery program.  We are proud to promote and endorse archery education through the association with the National Bowhunters Education Program (NBEP), the Texas Bowhunter Education Program (TBEP), the National Archery Association (NAA), the National Field Archery Association (NFAA) and the International Bowhunters Education Program (IBEP).

Our goals for 2006 are to continue to educate the community and our youth on the safety and skill of the sport of archery while providing a place where families can spend time together.  We plan to do this by offering Bowhunter Safety Courses for TPWD through member certification in the future, continuing to volunteer with the Bosque County 4-H archery project, encouraging our local 4-H youth in their pursuit of improving their archery skills by attending tournaments in the area and to compete at the State level.  We are in the process of ordering new targets to replace some of the older, worn out ones and eventually set up an additional shooting course to give more versatility.  We plan on constructing a new clubhouse in the future to better meet the needs of the officers and shooters alike.  We also hope to host special events tournaments for shooters in the future. 

We are excited to bring you this new website.  It will be filled with information on what we are all about, what our plans are, what we have accomplished, pictures of tournaments, tournament schedules and results, 4-H projects, member hunting photos, sponsor links, various archery associated links and a special section to be able to share stories about favorite memories, hunts, experiences, etc.  Club memberships are open to anyone interested in the exciting world of archery whether you are a beginner or a professional tournament archer, no matter your bow preference.  You do not have to be a member to participate in any of our tournaments.

We strongly believe our youth will make a difference in the future conservation and sport of archery and bowhunting.

Y'all come shoot!!!
