About the club

A little club that could, tucked beside a quiet lake.

Our home range

Birchwood Archery is an independent, volunteer-run club. We're grateful to hold our range at Birch Bay Ranch, beside the shores of Cooking Lake — but Birchwood is its own club, its own programs, and its own community. We simply borrow the view.

Spiritual focus

What sets us apart isn't the bows — it's the heart behind every shot. Our programs are rooted in faith, and every lesson is a chance to reflect, grow, and aim toward something greater than the target.

Programs

Five rings, one range — beginner to competitive.

Our participant programs follow the same progression as a target face: start wide on the outer white ring, work inward toward gold.
