Where can I shoot a bow in Colorado
Bear Creek Archery in Englewood, Colorado is an excellent indoor range so you can shoot year round. You can rent bows, and even demo the best brand new compound bows available.
How expensive is archery as a hobby?
Archery’s cost varies with equipment and practice frequency. Beginner recurve sets start around $150–$300 plus arrows and protective gear, while range or club fees can be $10–$20 per visit or $50–$200 yearly. Higher-end compound bows or accessories can exceed $1,000. You can save money by renting or buying last years gear, but serious competitors often invest in coaching and travel. Overall, archery can be budget-friendly or expensive, depending on your goals and commitment.
Is Archery good for Hunting?
Yes! Archery hunting has several environmental and practical benefits. It plays an important role in wildlife management, helping maintain healthy animal populations and preventing overpopulation that can harm habitats. Bows are quiet, reducing disturbance to wildlife and other hunters while encouraging a deeper connection with nature.
Archery hunting is also more accessible in certain areas, as bows can be used in places where firearms aren’t allowed. Archery Season is longer, which provides more opportunities to hunt responsibly, and it’s safer for small properties, making it a great choice for controlled hunting areas.
Beyond conservation, archery offers year-round outdoor recreation for families and individuals, provides opportunities to learn about history, cultural traditions, and hunting heritage. And fosters a deep appreciation for nature through skill, patience, and observation.
When is Archery Season in Colorado?
Archery hunting seasons in Colorado vary by species and can change annually, so always check the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) regulations for exact, up-to-date dates. Generally, deer and elk archery season runs from late August through late September, though specific start/end dates shift slightly each year. For pronghorn, the archery season often begins around mid-August and runs through late August. Other species (like bear or turkey) have separate, shorter archery windows. To be certain of the current year’s dates and any special conditions (unit restrictions, draw requirements, overlapping muzzleloader seasons, etc.), Check our page for when does archery season start in Colorado.
What are the Regulations for Archery Hunting in Colorado?
There are many regulations for archery hunting in Colorado and it is your job to know them. Our CPW 2025 Big Game Brochure has everything you need to know about season dates, licensing, and legal equipment for a successful hunt. The 80% let off rule was removed in 2022, and generally you can carry a sidearm for protection while hunting – but all other laws apply. We have some tricky areas, such as city and county laws that apply to National Forest. Stay informed and ensure you’re hunting within the latest guidelines by checking out the full brochure!
