Mobile Archery Rangemaster Training can be found at the following location: https://www.northernstar.org/Portals/0/Documents/Mobile-Archery-Safety-Officer-Training.pdf. Please look through the Mobile Archery specific training, but you do not need a Range Safety Officer or Shooting Sports Waiver to use the Mobile Archery Range.
All items that are checked out with the mobile archery range should be returned how they came. Please use the inventory sheets and set up/take down instructions provided to ensure that everything is accounted for and returned properly. Please report any missing or damaged items when returning the range.
The equipment is located at 6202 Bloomington Rd, Ft Snelling, MN 55111. When you arrive, you may proceed to Customer Service just inside the main entrance to check out the equipment from one of our representatives.
The person reserving the range is responsible for reporting any equipment that is missing or in need of repair, so these can be addressed before the next reservation. All components for the range are stored in separate cases:
Duffle with inflatable target / backstop (40”x20”x20” / 60 lbs)
A hard plastic tote containing bows, arrows, blower and equipment (40”x20”x20” / 40lbs)
*A pop-up tent canopy - *Subject to availability (78”x13”x13” / 35lbs)
A fold-flat cart for transport of the above (30”x40”X4” / 15lbs)
It is important that the person picking up and returning the equipment has a vehicle large enough to transport all items listed above that are required for each archery range (for example, a truck, SUV, or van). In addition, the person must be physically able to move the items to and from the building, as it is not guaranteed there will extra support onsite to assist.
