About Joutsi

Archery club Joutsi was founded in Joensuu in 1958. Currently, we have around 40 members. Our members use all kinds of bows: target recurves, compound bows and traditional bows. Members practice target and field archery as well as bow hunting. We have two shooting ranges available, so members can practice archery year-round.

Prices

An instructed beginner’s session costs €5. After that, practicing costs €25 per month. Prices include the use of the club’s equipment and the shooting ranges. For those who join the club and shoot regularly for several months, discounted rates are available.

Equipment

The club owns a good selection of bows and other archery equipment. Archers are free to use these at the shooting ranges.

Shooting ranges

We have two shooting ranges:

• Indoor range: Noljakankaari 1, 80140 Joensuu  (used during the winter season)
• Outdoor range: Kuusivaarantie, 80140 Joensuu  (used from spring to autumn)

Practice times

During the winter season, we practice three to four times a week — on weekday evenings and Sundays. During the summer season, the outdoor range is open for use 24/7.

Courses

Joutsi organizes archery courses and group guidance sessions. These are usually conducted in Finnish, but for larger English-speaking groups, courses can be arranged in English.
