About archery in Winnipeg

Nowhere else in Canada will you find three clubs dedicated to Belgian pole archery, a centuries-old tradition of vertical pole shooting. St. Sebastian Pole Archery (founded 1926) and Robin Hood Pole Archery Club (founded 1929) both operate in Winnipeg's St. Boniface neighbourhood, where the practice carries deep Belgian heritage roots. The St. Sebastianette Club (1975) continues it as a women's organization. For conventional shooting, Heights Outdoors has run a 26-lane indoor range since 1991, Heartland Archery offers a bowhunting-focused range and pro shop at $12 per hour, and Bows Broads and Bullseyes meets every second Friday for women-only target archery.
