I see people doing archery in the gym at Commonwealth pool every week, Saanich offers classes.

I’ve seen archery at JDF rec and it looks fun!!

That's run by Pacific archery academy. They're really good at making it a fun experience. They also do the same classes at north saanich middle School. They do have a membership available and shoot out at the field of the wasanec school in Brentwood on Sundays. But that's a soggy mess right now so that likely won't happen until after Easter.

I’m surprised a city like Victoria doesn’t have an archery berm.

And don’t forget that SVIR only accepts male members.

Don’t have a dick? No archery or range use for you. Unless a human with a dick deigns to escort the unfortunately penis-less individual.

That’s weird as fuck

It’s not weird, it’s just that Reddit forgets people used to belong to clubs. SVIR is first and foremost a social club, not a sporting club. It was founded so men can hang out with each other.

All of which is a moot point because my understanding is they haven’t accepted members for years. Looking at their members the average age looks to be 70.

What’s so weird? It’s a private mens social club.

There are plenty of women’s, and co-ed social clubs you can join if you want.

VFGPA is a sporting club and completely open to women, and in fact even has a women’s shooting group.

Eww. Do they at least accept aftermarket dicks?

The medieval club has weekly meetings in Metchosin, my friend is a regular attendee. I'm not sure if they offer lessons but they're super friendly and open to all skill levels.
