A new outdoor archery range offers Antelope Island State Park visitors a new way to experience the island, park officials say.
SYRACUSE — When Randy Cook learned that archery ranges were available at some of Utah's state parks, he began looking into how Antelope Island could become one of them.
"We've got one of the most unique settings of all the state parks — the fact that it's wilderness and we've got plenty of room," Cook said, recalling a conversation with Antelope Island State Park manager Jeremy Shaw.Spencer Kinard, president of the nonprofit organization, told Cook to shoot his shot, admitting Wednesday that the group wasn't really sure how successful the idea would be.
Kinard said heavy steel and cement were used for the target stands to make sure that the park's famous bison don't accidentally knock them down, adding that people should not shoot at the bison on the island.
