Here you shoot at targets in competition style
The archery division of the Hechingen rifle club has three shooting ranges, which we present below
bow place
Our archery course is right next to the Schützenhaus and is easy to reach on foot or by car. There are enough parking spaces available.
The well-kept lawn is over 30 m wide and almost 100 m long and therefore suitable for competitions according to the rules of the major archery associations. Our targets are currently at distances of between 10 m and 50 m and can be equipped with target faces of different sizes. The use of the archery range is only possible for club members and invited guest shooters.
In the summertime, training and general archery take place here several times a week. Also club championships and other competitions. Trial courses are also held here. Of course, there is also plenty of socializing at one or the other barbecue party on the Bogenplatz.
