Place to shoot around 169 and 394

[Parker]

Hi - I work in the 394/169 area and would like to shoot my bow over my lunch hour. I havent been able to locate any city or county archery ranges close enough that would allow me to shoot at lunch and get back to work in a reasonable amount of time. Is anyone aware of any place in Golden Valley, St. Louis Park, Plymouth, Minnetonka, etc. area that would fit what I am looking for?

Three Rivers Park District controls many of the parks in that area, but the parks they have with Archery not not anywhere near there.

I thought that Theadore Wirth had a range which is over by 394 and 100. I could be wrong though...

Looked at all of these before I posted. The parks linked are too far for me to drive to, shoot and get back. I considered Theo Wirth, but the description of the park on the Minneapolis Park Board site does not say that archery is available. Is it? Does anyone know of any city parks that may be an option?

Also, the Elm Creek park archery site looks awesome. I will need to check that one out on a weekend.

Hopkins has a range in Valley Park. You can get there from 169 and 7th st so or from 169 and Londonderry/Bren Rd.

The Elm Creek site is fun. I used to live a couple miles from there. I think its best with a couple buddies. Then you can have little competitions while walking through the course.

In Hopkins very close to 169 is a decent range where you can get 70 yard shots. It is on Smetana and Westbrook Way. I don't trust the yardage markers at that place though....

Theo Wirth does have a range. I don't know the street names but from Hwy 55 to Theo Wirth Pkwy go left. Just past the bridge for the golf course you veer left again. It's at that intersection but on your right. It's not much but it's a place to shoot.

The Hopkins range has been changed up because of some construction in the park, but there are still several targets and up to 30yds I think.
