Archery
Archery Bay
The Archery Bay is 10 to 65 yards and includes archery target bales every 5 yards that you may pin paper targets to and some 3D targets. Target and field points only(no broadheads or crossbows).
3D Archery Loops
Cameo has four 3D Archery Loops. 3D Archery Loops are walking courses to shoot life size animal targets that are great for practicing for hunting scenarios.
Chukar Loop (Family/Traditional)
The Chukar loop is only 10 targets that are 40 yards and under. A very short loop that is great for traditional archers, families, kids, beginners, or a quick practice.
Bighorn Loop (Moderate)
The Bighorn loop with 20 targets is one of our original loops that is the easier of the three loops with 20 targets at just under a mile long.
Mule Deer Loop (Intermediate)
The Mule Deer loop with 20 targets has great elevation changes, and more trees. This loop is just over a mile and has some longer shots.
Mountain Lion Loop (Extreme)
The Mountain Lion loop with 20 targets is two miles of strenuous hiking that takes several hours to shoot. This loop has mostly long shots, targets range from 11 yards to 112 yards.
