That being said, we outdoor option has started. During the summer months we will have weekly archery practices on Tuesday evenings between 7-9PM at the Yellowknife Shooting Club. Check the calendar or contact the archery section if you have any questions.

Thank you for the Recognition!

Thank you Archery Canada and Archery NT for this amazing tweet/post! It has been a hugely rewarding journey to shoot and learn alongside my archery friends and I would not have made it this far without your help and support.

A special shout-out goes to Aboriginal Sports Circle and the Yellowknife Shooting Club for continuing to provide the opportunities and the venue for everyone to grow and to enjoy the sport! If you live in the NT and are interested in archery be sure to check them out and consider supporting them by becoming a member.

Custom builds, incoming stock

Thank you for all the visitors and interest! We have just started and our online catalog isn’t that great… but if you are looking for something in particular, or just started archery and only have a vague idea of what you may be interested in, please drop me a line! I am currently working on custom recurve builds for local archers and would love to setup something that works for you.

I got a shipment of arrows and tabs coming in. Keep an eye on the catalog if that’s something you may need.
