About archery in Quebec

Quebec City's two archery clubs both operate out of school facilities with similar setups: an 18-metre indoor range in winter and outdoor shooting in warmer months. Club de Tir Nord'Arc has served the community for more than 35 years, shooting at Ecole la Passerelle and running a 3D course outdoors along with lessons for newcomers. Club Kamentukash, established in 1987, is based at Ecole Roger-Comtois on Boulevard des Etudiants, with indoor sessions running Tuesday through Friday evenings.
