THE GREY MOUNTAIN RANGE

Course Layout

Whitehorse Archery is fortunate to have use of the Biathlon Yukon course on Grey Mountain for shooting in the summer. The course consists of two loops: Short Loop and the Hunter's or Long Loop and the four target Bridge Trail that links the Short and Hunter's Loop. This year, the Short Loop is set up with 21 targets to facilitate those people with limited time. The targets are set up to tournament standards and feature a variety of sizes and degrees of difficulty from easy to moderate. There are three sets of stakes on  the Short Loop: pink for kids and beginners, white for recurve, and green or orange for compound or advanced shooters. This loop can easily be shot in under an hour with two people shooting one or two arrows each. 

    

The Hunter's Loop consists of an additional 23 targets. These feature predominantly game animals with shots ranging from moderate to difficult. Sheep Canyon is one of our favourites! This loop on its own takes about a 1:15. 

​

Please don't use the old Lake Trail. It is under water. 

​

We have just completely rearranged the course so check the map below. 

​

For safety sake, please shoot the targets in numerical order on the Short Loop. You can shoot the Hunter's Loop in reverse but please be aware of shooters coming counterclockwise. 

 

​

Using the Course

​​

  • The course is entered from Grey Mountain Road at the Biathlon Range. 

  • There is a small box on a post near the entrance path where users must sign in and sign out.

  • If you need to register, please go to the garage located past the rifle range and across the field to your right. You will see our big black and yellow sign. 

  • When you return to the car park and there are no other cars there, please lock the gate behind you. 

  • If you plan to do the Hunter's Loop, pack adequate water and snacks. 

  • Bring insect repellent. The mosquitos can be bad on parts of the course. All part of the hunting experience. 

  • Families are welcome but please do not let children wander away. There are people shooting arrows and it is easy to get disoriented in the woods. 

  • No dogs or pets please. 

  • NO SMOKING anywhere on the site

  • Pack your garbage out with you.

  • These targets are expensive. Please do not deliberately shoot at the head, ears, horns or antlers. They are costly to replace. Try for the kill zones which are (mostly) replaceable.
