Shuffle Board & Archery Range

Back in 15th Century England, folks played a game of sliding a "groat" a large British coin down a table as a pastime for royalty. The game was called shove groat. Later, a silver penny was used and the name of the game became shove-penny or shovel-penny. The game was played by the young and old, and was a favorite pastime in the great country houses of England. At Stonepine the tradition continues as young and old gather to play a more modern American version popular in the 1950’s. We highly encourage our guests to gather in our Shuffleboard Pavilion for a round or two over a bottle or two of your favorite wine. Let the games begin….

Archery tournaments as we know them can be traced to England, where such events were part of grand community festivals since the seventeenth century. Stonepine’s archery range resembles the ranges used in the English country side hundreds of years ago. Guests are invited to borrow long bows or modern compound bows to practice their sport and hunting skills.
