our Ascent

Our journey into archery began a decade ago with a birthday gift —a Groupon for an introductory class. From that first arrow, we were hooked; creating a new journey that would blend our passion for mentoring for youth with our love for sports. Leading us to launch an elite Junior Olympic club, Ascension Archery.

During this time we have encountered a significant hurdle: the lack of suitable training facilities in the Bay Area.

This challenge inspired us to create a range that meets the training needs of Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls.

Our members have access to a private range with ample parking, portable toilets, a hand washing station, high quality Rinehart FITA Wave Targets on moveable stands, and twelve shooting lanes with a max distance of 90m.

Train at tournament distance at a range that meets national standards with privacy and peace of mind.
