We offer several leagues throughout the year. You do not need to be a Detroit Archer’s member to shoot any of our leagues or events. If you can't commit to the league and just want to shoot it now and again, you are always welcome to any of our leagues and just pay the per-night fee. The pricing of a league (with exception to the Monday Bush League) is $10 for members and $15 for non-members per night. Unlike most other club's leagues, ours generally have a small payout at the end!

The Bush Barebow League is one of the oldest continuous archery leagues in the nation and at one time even shot in the Bear Archery shop when it was still located in Detroit in the ‘40s. The league is an indoor target league for barebow archers, both compounds and stickbows. The rules of the league require no sights, no releases, and stabilizers limited to 12 inches or less. Any type of arrows may be used. Currently there are longbows, recurves and compounds represented in the league. The league shoots the NFAA 40cm blue target face. Each year the league votes on the distances to be shot. Currently the league is shooting 20 arrows at 20 yards, 20 arrows at 15 yards, 20 arrows at 25 yards, and 20 arrows again at 20 yards, for a total of 80 arrows.

The league allows traditional archers, bow hunters (fixed pin sights), and open class (movable sights and/or scopes) shooters. Scoring is handicapped, and league members compete among each other. At the end of the league a banquet for league members is held in usually in April. All league members receive a monetary gift at the banquet.
