Alberta has 47 archery ranges in the directory, and the scene is two things at once. The Edmonton and Calgary metros run a dense, technically strong target program with Olympic recurve and compound clubs feeding national-level competition. Outside the cities, the foothills, prairie, and parkland fill up every fall with archers prepping for elk, deer, moose, and bear seasons. Archery Alberta sanctions the provincial calendar and runs the ASA Tour, the Alberta Winter Series, and Summer FITA events through the year. Lac la Biche has hosted the Canadian Outdoor 3D Archery Championships, putting Alberta on the national event map well outside the metro corridor.
