Golden North Archery Association began as Golden North Bowhunters Association with 45 members in 1961 and has grown to over 100 bowhunters, target and field target archers.
We are a family-oriented club. Children are included and encouraged to come and shoot at all of the events. Young archers receive the same awards as the adults.
The GNAA Outdoor Range is on private property off Chena Hot Springs Road. You must be a member or guest of a member to enjoy.
