Meetings happen weekly in the gym , and the archery club captains send out a Canvas announcement each week as a reminder . Club members are responsible for the set-up and take-down of the archery equipment at lunch . Some weeks there are special events like adding balloons to pop on the target board or having some fun competition across the different target ranges . The club is open to anyone from grade 8 to grade 12 and drop-ins are always welcome .
