Mountain Green Archery Club is primarily a target archery club based on Mt Albert-Owairaka, Auckland. Mt Albert-Owairaka is a significant landmark that was formally a symmetrical cone, today is reduced 15 metres having been extracted as a scoria quarry. Mt Albert-Owairaka has been set aside as a reserve since the 19th century. Mountain Green Archery Club has been established in the 1940's in the Mt Albert-Owairaka domain.

The archery range is in a former quarry. From 1867 a ballast pit was opened on the mountain to supply scoria to public works and private citizens. NZ Railways worked a tramway on the northern slopes from 1888 to 1928 to remove scoria for construction of the Auckland to Kaipara railway. Evidence of the tramway and ballast pit is still clearly visible where the flattened floor of the pit is now used as the archery range. Mountain Green Archery Club that has been established on the site since the 1940's leases the floor of this quarry.
