So my first compound bow was delivered yesterday (woohoo!) and I immediately took it to my local pro shop to get it tuned. I'm off work around 2 today and I'm going to grab my dog and head to Balboa Park archery range. Has anyone spent any time there? What do you guys think? Anything I should know or bring before I head over? Feel free to fling a few arrows with me about 2:30 if you're in the area.

It's a cool range, on weekdays after work there'll only be a couple people if that. I think Tuesdays there's a club that shoots so I'd skip that day, but otherwise it's pretty quiet. You just pay $2 to the iron ranger (honor system) and go shoot. Sometimes I bring my own 3d target but most of the time I bring paper plates and stick em onto the hay bales with skewers. No broadheads or crossbows allowed.
Ruby is great has an area to shoot at fixed distances or you can walk the course. I prefer the course. Dont know how many targets are closed down on the backside right now. A few of them were shut down due to construction on the bridge. The only thing I could think extra to bring is an arrow puller in case they have new bales. Have fun!

good because it is important that you get your form and draw length set. just saying. I know the temptation is to go shoot, but it is best to get training on the shooting form before bad habits take place.
Both ranges are fun, I've never done the trail though. When I've gone it's always been pretty mellow and never had to wait to shoot.
The one that's behind the museums the targets are down the hill a little and only go to 45yds(?) the one at morley is all flat ground and the targets go much further out.
