Just a friendly reminder to renew your club membership for 2024 if you haven’t done so yet. In order to shoot you must be a member in good standing, and the included insurance is a requirement of Archery Canada, BC Archery, and Saanich Commonwealth (for our indoor shoots). And please remember to wear or display your membership card in such a way that it is visible whenever you are shooting. We appreciate your cooperation!
Click here to join or renew your membership today.
After renewing, you’ll receive a link to a PDF file of your membership card. You can either print it out by yourself, or you can forward it to Al Wills who has the club laminator and he can bring a printed, laminated copy to a shoot for you.
The South Vancouver Island Rangers will be hosting another Archery Drop In Open House in conjunction with our club at their range next Saturday, Jan 13th, at 2PM – 3498 Luxton Road in Langford – and Victoria Bowmen members are invited! Cost is $10 per person with non-shooting observers free. Come in the gate and follow the road over the bridge to the last parking lot, you’ll see the archery butts from there.
Regular Thursday and Sunday club shoots at Saanich Commonwealth are back, as well as JOP on Sundays. To check shoot dates or any cancelled shoots, we encourage you to regularly check the club’s events calendar on our website. *Please note: We shoot 3 arrows per end indoors and we recognize that some of us take longer than others, so we do tolerate shooting more than 3 – as long as you’re respectful of your fellow archers’ time and you’re not making them wait too long.
2024 Indoor Mailmatches are starting up. Remember to register on the Archery Canada website if you’d like to compete. Registration closes on Feb 17.
Reminder that for Monday night drop-in shoots, Saanich Commonwealth has now shifted them to a pre-registered drop-in available online. Participants can reserve a spot for each session up to 7 days in advance starting at 8:30 am. See more details and register here.
Congratulations to Ruby Eliason and Kiera Mansell for making the team for the BC Winter Games in Quesnel in February! Stay tuned for more updates on these two talented archers.
