General Information
Pasadena Roving Archers is an archery club that has been
dedicated to the art of the bow and arrow in Pasadena’s
Lower Arroyo Seco Park since 1935. Incorporated as a non-profit
organization, our membership includes men, women, young adults
and children. It is a melting-pot of archers from all walks
of life. PRA is home to beginners, weekend enthusiasts, regional,
state, nation and international champions and maybe a future
Olympic Gold medal winner. All are bound together by the sport
of archery.All archers are required to adhere to the Range Rules.
Free Saturday Morning
Archery Classes
We conduct an ongoing program of classes for people interested in
learning the sport of archery. PRA offers a Beginner’s class and
a 6 week Basic Archery Instruction Program (BAIP). Classes are held
every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. throughout the year.
These classes are popular and fill up quickly so we recommend that you
arrive at the range by 8:30 a.m. in order to be fitted with equipment.
The introductory class is free and we invite a donation of $5.00 for
subsequent classes.
Classes are open to all residents of Pasadena and the surrounding
communities. Young archers must be a minimum of 10 years of
age* or have the prior approval of the Instruction Coordinator
to participate in the classes. All young archers must be accompanied
by a parent or guardian.
The six week BAIP class costs $60.00 and includes instruction and equipment use. Adults who complete the
class and who wish to continue are encouraged to join the
club and to take advantage of our Mentor Program for intermediate
archers.
This is a shooting
sport, and all students, regardless of age, must, in the opinion
of the instruction staff, be able to safely and comfortably
handle the equipment.
Tournaments and Competition
Pasadena Roving Archers conducts an NFAA regulation
club shoot or qualifier every Sunday morning. We shoot 28
field or hunter targets (not to be confused with 3-D targets,
hunter targets are simply a different type of field target)
or a combination of the two. All of our events are open to
guest archers who wish to participate.
A 3D tournament is held on the 3rd Sunday of each month.
A 300 tournament (30 arrows at 20 yards) is held on the second
and fourth Sunday of each month.
In May of each year, PRA hosts the Oak Tree Invitational
3-D tournament, and every fall we hold our “21 or Bust”
Invitational Tournament. Archers from all over the state come
to compete in these events.
More information
Our clubhouse was destroyed by fire in April of 2002. Until
it is rebuilt, club leaders may be contacted at the range
on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to about 11:30 a.m. and on Sunday
mornings, as early as 8 a. m., during the summer, and 9 a.m.
in the winter, until about 1 p.m.
