Robin Hood Pole Archery Club

Established in 1929 in Winnipeg's historic St. Boniface neighborhood, the Robin Hood Pole Archery Club is a fascinating local organization dedicated to the centuries-old Belgian tradition of vertical pole archery. Rather than shooting horizontally at paper targets, members aim traditional bows at 37 specific bird targets placed atop a towering 110-foot pole. Shooting events are held on Wednesday evenings from late April to early September at Archery Park on Mission Street. This unique, active club preserves a distinct cultural sporting heritage and welcomes traditional archery enthusiasts interested in a challenging, highly specialized form of outdoor target shooting.
