Are you the owner of Victor Harbor Archery Club Indoor?
The Victor Harbour Archery Club Indoor, also known as Victor Harbour Archery Club Inc, was established in 2013 with the aim of promoting, expanding, and perpetuating the practise of Target, Field, and Indoor Archery in South Australia. Located in Port Elliot on the Fleurieu Peninsula, approximately 81 kilometres from Adelaide, the club provides a picturesque setting for archery enthusiasts.
The outdoor Target field is set amidst a stunning rural backdrop of farmland, featuring a lush green oval and majestic gums, creating a pleasant atmosphere for both practise and competition. The club is dedicated to following the regulations, conditions, and method of play as set by Archery Australia, ensuring a fair and standardised experience for all members.
In 2021, the club realised a long-awaited dream with the construction of a combined Club Rooms and Indoor shooting facility. This state-of-the-art upgrade was made possible through funding from the State Government Infrastructure Project Grant Programme and the Victor Harbour Council. The new facility offers archers and visitors a more comfortable and flexible environment for their activities.
The Victor Harbour Archery Club is committed to ongoing improvements and sustainability. Future plans include the implementation of solar energy to power lights and equipment, rainwater collection for kitchen needs, and the use of gas. These initiatives aim to reduce the club's environmental impact while enhancing the overall archery experience.
