A Major Center, a Public Range, and a Club Patchwork

Salt Lake City's archery map has one anchor: the Easton Salt Lake Archery Center, a metro-scale facility near the airport with indoor lanes out to 70 meters, $10 equipment rentals (scheduled in advance), $6–$12 hourly shooting and a full class ladder from $25 Try Archery through leagues. Behind it sit the state's Lee Kay public range (far west SLC, $6 day pass, bring your own bow, crossbows allowed) and a patchwork of clubs: a 24-lane member clubhouse in West Jordan (DATUS) with the valley's documented JOAD track (ages 8–20), Utah's oldest bowhunting club in Parleys Canyon, and a complete public indoor-plus-outdoor complex in Ogden. Geography discipline matters here: only three verified facilities actually carry a Salt Lake City address — everything else is named by its real city below.

📋 Key Takeaways

  • Easton Salt Lake Archery Center is the anchor: 70-meter indoor lanes, $6–$12 hourly, $10 rental equipment (scheduled by phone), $25 Try Archery for ages 8+.
  • Lee Kay Public Shooting Range (far west SLC) is the state-run outdoor option: $6 adult day pass, walk-in sign-in, bring your own bow — crossbows allowed, broadheads off the target butts.
  • Only three verified facilities sit in Salt Lake City proper: Easton, Lee Kay and Salt City Swords' fencing-club archery program. Everything else is West Jordan, Sandy, Ogden or Parleys Canyon.
  • The valley's JOAD pathway runs through 107 Archery Club at DATUS in West Jordan — ages 8–20, coached by Mike Gerard and Jay Barrs.
  • Weber County Archery Park in Ogden is the cheapest full-service option: $9 adult day pass, $5 equipment rental, 16–18 indoor lanes and 50+ outdoor targets.
  • Several businesses that ranking pages list as current (Salt Lake Archery, Full Draw Archery, Bad Lands Bow Hunters) cannot be verified as operating in September 2026.

Salt Lake Valley: Which Type of Range Fits You?

Structured training center

Easton Salt Lake Archery Center: classes from Try Archery ($25) through Explore, Youth Basic/Intermediate and adult tracks, 3D and indoor leagues, and national-level tournaments. The region's purpose-built path from first arrow to competition.

Indoor practice

Easton's 70-meter indoor lanes ($6–$12/hour) are the year-round answer. DATUS in West Jordan offers a 24-lane clubhouse — for members ($250–$350/year with work hours). Weber County adds 16–18 public indoor lanes in Ogden.

Club / 3D

Beehive-Wasatch Bowhunters (Parleys Canyon, founded 1957) runs multiple 3D courses, a known-distance range and a broadhead range, with public events and a winter youth league. Membership and guest rules aren't published — contact the club.

Outdoor practice

Lee Kay (SLC, $6 adult / $3 youth day pass) is the public outdoor option with the caveat of bringing your own gear. Weber County's outdoor range reaches 100+ yards with 50+ bag targets. Rockport State Park adds a seasonal 3D trail east of the valley.

Beginner with rental equipment

Easton rents equipment for $10 plus the hourly rate (scheduled ahead by phone) and its Try Archery class includes gear for $25. Weber County rents at $5 per item. Lee Kay has no rentals — bring your own.

Why we picked it

The Easton Salt Lake Archery Center is what makes SLC unusual: a purpose-built, metro-scale facility — indoor lanes to 70 meters, an outdoor turf field, $10 equipment rentals and a class ladder that runs from a $25 first session to 3D and indoor leagues. It hosted the 57th USA Archery Indoor Nationals in February 2026. If you want structure, this is the valley's answer.

Good to know

The friction is published: rentals must be scheduled by phone before arrival, reservations hold 30 minutes, closed-toe shoes are mandatory, and passes are open-shooting-only with blackout dates. Adult class participants need their own arm guard and finger sling. No JOAD page exists on the site — the valley's JOAD lives at 107 Archery Club.

Who it's best for

First-timers renting gear, structured learners of every age, and league shooters.

Lee Kay Public Shooting Range — Archery

🚪
Access
Walk-in — sign in and get a hand stamp at the main building (or Shotgun Center after 5 p.m.)

Why we picked it

Lee Kay is the state's public option inside the valley: a Utah Division of Wildlife Resources shooting complex whose archery bays cost $6 a day for adults, with a $50 ten-visit pass for regulars. It's also the place for broadhead practice — with your own target — since the rule is simply to keep broadheads off the range's target butts.

Good to know

It's bring-your-own-bow: no rentals and no lesson program are published. Lane distances aren't stated on DWR pages ("choose a bay that is the correct distance you require"), hours shift seasonally (archery stays open until sunset Thursdays), and everyone signs in and gets stamped.

Who it's best for

Owners of any bow type — especially bowhunters prepping broadheads — who want cheap public lanes.

Why we picked it

Salt City Swords is the odd one that earns its place: a 501(c)(3) fencing club that runs a twice-weekly indoor archery program with USA Archery-certified instructors and all equipment provided. For someone near South Salt Lake who wants a low-commitment Olympic-recurve introduction without buying anything, it's the in-city niche option.

Good to know

It is a program, not a range business: two 45-minute evening sessions a week, prices by contact, and age rules published only for fencing — ask about archery ages when booking. Don't expect open lanes or rentals outside class time.

Who it's best for

Complete beginners near South Salt Lake who want coached indoor instruction with supplied gear.

JOAD
107 Archery Club: JOAD ages 8–20 and AAP 21+, coached by Mike Gerard and Jay Barrs

Why we picked it

DATUS is the valley's clubhouse: 24 indoor lanes and two 70-yard practice targets in a 6,000-square-foot building, with a transparent membership structure — $250 a year with ten work hours, $350 without — and an in-person board-meeting intake. The valley's JOAD pathway runs here through 107 Archery Club, coached by Mike Gerard and Jay Barrs.

Good to know

It's a private organization with a real gate: join by attending a board meeting, hours aren't published, and guest policy is unstated — contact before visiting. 107 Archery Club's program pricing and schedules are also unpublished. This is a commit-and-join option, not a drop-in.

Who it's best for

Archers who want year-round indoor access, a club community and a JOAD track for their kids.

🕐
Hours

Why we picked it

Weber County is the northern Wasatch Front's full package: 16–18 public indoor lanes to 60 yards, an outdoor range with 50+ bag targets out past 100 yards, $5 equipment rentals, and the cheapest structured classes found in this research ($78–$90 for six weeks). For Ogden-area archers it needs no alternative.

Good to know

It is a real drive from Salt Lake City — about 35 miles north — and we list it as an Ogden facility, not an SLC one. Broadheads (including practice broadheads) are prohibited on both ranges, indoor yardage can vary day to day, and paper targets cost $1.

Who it's best for

Ogden-area archers — and SLC residents willing to drive north for the cheapest full-service option.

Why we picked it

Beehive-Wasatch is the region's institutional club: founded in 1957, with multiple 3D courses, a known-distance range and a dedicated broadhead range in Parleys Canyon, plus public events and a winter youth league. For a 3D or bowhunting-oriented archer, it's the traditional club home.

Good to know

The official site is deliberately sparse: no street address, no published dues, and membership flows through a request form. The directory figures circulating for dues and guest fees are not official and we won't repeat them. Public events are the non-member door — watch the club's calendar.

Who it's best for

3D shooters and bowhunters who want a club with a broadhead range and public shoots.

Also Worth Knowing About

  • Rockport State Park 3D Archery Range (Peoa, Summit County) — a seasonal 3D trail with full-size deer, bison, elk and bear targets; free with park entry, bring your own bow and arrows, no broadheads. The dedicated page returned 404 at check time — reconfirm details before planning.
  • Badass Outdoor Gear (Sandy) — a pro shop for compound, recurve and crossbow with custom arrow builds. The official site lists no range and no lessons — treat directory range claims as unconfirmed.
  • Humphries Archery (Millcreek/Murray) — the official domain is a password-protected placeholder; hours, prices and range specs are not verifiable in September 2026. Directories labeling it "Salt Lake City" are geographically wrong.
  • Bass Pro / Sportsman's Warehouse — retail archery departments, not ranges.

Before You Go: Salt Lake Practicalities

Three things to plan around:

  • Easton runs on phone reservations. Rentals and lanes are scheduled by phone before arrival, no-shows lose the lane after 30 minutes, and closed-toe shoes are enforced. Call (801) 523-5232.
  • Only three facilities are in SLC proper. Easton, Lee Kay and Salt City Swords. DATUS is West Jordan, Weber County is Ogden, Beehive-Wasatch is Parleys Canyon, Rockport is Peoa. Name the city when you navigate.
  • Dead listings persist. Salt Lake Archery, Full Draw Archery and Bad Lands Bow Hunters appear in directories and forums as current but have no verifiable 2026 presence. Our statewide Utah guide flags the same issue — verify before driving.

How We Chose These Ranges

  • SLC proper vs valley vs Wasatch Front — every facility named by its real city
  • The Easton center's role as metro anchor, with published pricing verified
  • Public, club and program access models stated plainly
  • Rental and beginner paths for archers without equipment
  • Dead-listing discipline — businesses without verifiable 2026 presence excluded
  • Every fact checked from official sources in September 2026

We have not visited these ranges in person. Every fact below comes from official pages — the Easton center, Utah DWR, clubs and county parks — checked in September 2026. Where directory listings conflict with official pages, we follow the official source, and where nothing is verifiable we say so.
