Once there

Notices

Update the spinner on the main door to remind the archers not to lock you in.

If you are visiting before the archers arrive, there is a "Space open, please knock" sign just behind the sliding door. Please put this on the front door, so it can be left on the latch to prevent randoms walking into the range.
