NGTA information and directions

North Georgia Traditional Archery Club - Information and Directions

The North Georgia Traditional Archery Club is located in Gainesville, GA. We provide a full schedule of 3D shooting events January through August. We shoot on the first Sunday of each month with the exepction of July. The July date is usually chosen so as not to interfere with the July 4 holiday. We may also make an adjustment for Easter Sunday as well, depending on when it falls in the month from year to year.

The shoots start when you get there if you wish. The host is usually there at about 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM. We offer a devotional at 9:00 AM. We usually have some good food. Lunch at about 12:00 noon and cost $5.00 per person.

We offer Recurve, Longbow, Primitive, Women's and Youth classes. Registraition is required even though our shoots are non-competitive.
We do not allow the use of compound bows on our courses, but we will be happy to put a trad bow in your hand if you happen to arrive without one.

Shoot fees are $5.00 for members, $10.00 for non members. We do offer discounts for families. First time visitors to our club shoot for free. Membership is only $25, so if you plan to shoot every month, it's a bargain.

We would love to have you and your family attend one of our upcoming shoots. Y'all come visit with us. You'll be glad you did.


Directions to NGT shoots in Gainesville, GA

ADDRESS: 2295 Lee Land Rd Gainesville, GA 30507

Take I 985 North to Exit 20 - CANDLER Rd.(aka GA Hwy 60) Turn Right. Follow Candler Rd East past the Hall County Landfill on the left and Atlas Cold Storage on the right. Keep going a little further until you get to LEE LAND RD on the Right. You will see our big NGT sign. Turn Right and follow LEE LAND Rd until it forks under the cell tower and large powerline. We are there on the left. We have an NGTA sign just at our gated entry. If you go under the large powerline, you have gone too far!

We have a Facebook page. Just search North Georgia Traditional Archery on Facebook and you'll find us!

Thanks Gene, this will be very helpful to everyone!

Thanks Dutchman

Thanks Gene

Directions to YOF and Sore LosersSshoots
(From the YOF and Sore Losers web site)

On interstate 40 in the crossville area take exit 320 which is genesis road. Go north 8 miles to the catoosa wildlife management area look for the checking station on the left, it is just beside the road. We will be shooting at the checking station location.

For those who do not know, YOF is but an abbreviation for one of the premier traditional shooting clubs in the country. It is widely known among traditional shooters and is famous, far and wide for having some of the greatest members in the land. However, it's name cannot be mentioned here except by the letters as this forum's profanity censor is sensitive in the extreme. If you wish to be informed as to what the true name for this wonderful club is, PM me.

Good job Gene.

Thanks Gene......just filled out my 2015 calendar.....

Planning to attend

Well, just got my daughter Caroline a new Samick Polaris 20lb recurve. Still have to get myself a Sage, but we both plan to start coming to the Gainesville shoots.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

We will be joining on our next visit.

Are we supposed to bring a dish? I seem to remember that.

David R. Boag, DDS

No need to bring a dish. The shoot host(s) will prepare lunch onsite. Donation for lunch is $5 per person.

Gene in Feb the SGTP shoot is the 14th, the Brain Tanning class is being held then on 14th and 15th at SGTP for those that have signed up for it. The TBG Central Zone shoot in Culloden is the 21st I believe. Please check this, but I do know the SGTP is correct. thanks.

Fixed/updated.
