Rube Powell Archery Range

4.6(58 reviews)
1499 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101

This outdoor archery range in Balboa Park offers a unique blend of hiking and target practice. For just $2, you'll find a well-marked trail with over 30 targets at varying distances. The range features both traditional and 3D targets, making it suitable for different skill levels. While not perfectly manicured, it's well-maintained by dedicated volunteers and includes wheelchair-accessible features. The range can get busy, especially on weekends, so early arrival is recommended for parking. Safety awareness is important as some paths intersect, and it's best to follow the numbered targets in sequence. Despite its urban location, the setting provides a peaceful escape with occasional wildflower blooms. The honor-system payment and helpful community atmosphere make this a cherished spot for San Diego archers, though first-timers might want to familiarize themselves with the layout before shooting.
