Archery is an amazing activity to take up at any age. It will help you discover yourself and what you are truly capable of.
We offer quality coaching at an indoor shooting range at the heart of downtown Toronto. We teach our members the basics of shooting as well as help develop their skills in a friendly environment. We also support members enter more competitive streams.
Got questions? We got you covered. Check out our FAQ.
In addition to our normal range hours, we offer a variety of activities throughout the year, including:
Also, every February the club hosts the annual Inter-University Archery Tournament (IUAT). Archers from various Universities compete against each other in different categories. The Universities include:
The club is open every Tuesday and Thursday from 5pm to 8pm. (They may change depending on coache's availability)
In addition to our normal open range hours, we host a few other socials for club members as well including dinners, and our annual Awards Banquet.
More details on how to apply can be found in our FAQ section.
The range is located at the Multidisciplinary Activity room within Hart House, in the heart of Downtown Toronto.
Members of Hart House. All University of Toronto students are already members at Hart House and only need to purchase a membership to the archery club itself. As for the rest of the Toronto community, do not despair! You can purchase a Clubs Membership from Hart House. Please check out their website for more details.
Sign up to our waiting list first. We will get in touch when our queue frees up. After that, you can buy your membership at the Hub (front desk) in Hart House at the start of the term, and please remember to sign up for a Safety Lesson. These lessons are mandatory for all new members. Membership is limited, but they are annual and renewable. All memberships are good until the end of the school year, regardless of when in the year they were purchased.
Due to the large demand for memberships relative to our available physical space in the range, we unfortunately can't accept everyone. We have created a Waitlist to help with balancing our accomodating capacity. However, even if you sign up into the waitlist, we can't guarantee your membership due to the large amount of applicants each year. We generally follow a first come first serve order on the waitlist, so watch out for it being posted near the beginning of each year in our various social media and platforms!
You can join our waitlist or register for the Archery Lessons held by Hart House. There are 5-week sessions for Level I and Level II classes. Level I Monday classes are 50 minutes long, offering one-on-one coaching for all participants. Level II classes on Wednesdays are for returning or experienced members only. These classes are 90 minutes long, and include an exercise component targeting specific muscle groups. You can register online. Any questions can be regarding the lessons can be directed here: inquiries@harthouse.ca.
The club will provide all the necessary equipment at no additional charge. For the more experienced archers who just needs a place to practice, however, personal equipment is also allowed in the range as long as it is under 40lbs in draw weight
If you follow the rules and listen to the range officers, archery is a very safe sport.
Members are welcome to shoot during Open Range hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5-8pm. This is a very social club, and there is no minimum commitment of time to join this club.
No baggy clothing as it gets in the way of shooting and the range itself can get very warm. Be prepared to take off jewelery for the same reason. Be prepared to have fun!
Weren't able to join the club in time? Or looking for a club for your child/a minor? Please note that while currently the HHAC is not outfitted to cater to youths, this is an option that we are exploring for future years.
In the mean time, please check out these other facilities.
