South Nation Archery Supply

Kathy is away coaching coaches in New Brunswick this weekend. Please remember that Friday night and Saturday morning beginner archery classes are postponed until next week. Thank you.

Our annual get-together was a wonderful time to get together and celebrate efforts, results and our special annual awards to outstanding archers. Councillor Tony Fraser was our special presenter this year. With over 65 people in attendance, it is there was great food and just a little more room to move around. We had a special guest show up to help us celebrate the 2012-2013 indoor season: Molly Solc drove up from Kingston, ON in order to be with us!

Once again, the SNAC team of Jordan Sequillion, Lindsay Fumerton and Sydney Sequillion have captured the team MICA event. They finished first by beating the Brazilian team by 13 points.

Congratulations to all other SNAC competitors. In particular, congratulations to our “junior” recurve men’s team which was actually comprised of 2 Cubs and a Pre-cub. Josh Parker, Josh Sequillion and Kaleb Parker finished 5th in the Americas against archers as old as 21 years! Great job, everyone!

5.  Annual Awards Night and Pot Luck Dinner:
For any archer who competed in any of our tournaments or leagues this year, remember that our 21st annual event takes place at 6pm on Saturday, May 11th.  Invitations will be sent to each of you.

Congratulations to Christopher Perkins for his shoot-off performance in Kentucky on March 17th, and to Peter Garrett, Ted Ladelpha and Eric Peters who shot terrific rounds on day 2 – well done everyone!

We regret to pass on more sad news, but Gilbert (Gib) Henderson has departed this world and we will miss him.  It’s strange that Gib dies of complications due to a stroke so close after Tom Jennings left us because they could have been related, so close were they in temperament and in their love of archery.

Through good years and bad, Gib always helped out the archers of Saskatchewan and took on roles when no one else would help.  His whole family grew up in the sport and his lovely wife, Wilma, was there all the time, too.

Condolences and special thoughts go out to Wilma, Phil, Karen and the rest of the Henderson family.

Congratulations to the archers who competed in the nationally-sanctioned FITA18M on Sunday, March 10th.  Please find the results under the “Scores” section of our website.

The next (and last) tournament for the indoor season will be the internally-sanctioned Multi-site Indoor Championships of the Americas on Sunday, March 24th.  The morning line is full, but there are 3 remaining spots on the afternoon line.  The team event will take in between the two lines for individual competition.  There is no evening line for this event (so far).

To pre-register for this event, please use the website or contact Kathy Millar at 613-989-2943.

Congratulations to all archers across Canada who participated in the 2013 version of the multi-site indoor championships.  This year, we had 28 archers participate at SNAC with one team:  the Parker family.  Results are being posted now.  Unfortunately, it will be a little slower this year because the contact e-mail address in the spreadsheet was incorrect.  But, they are fixing that situation now.  Expect result updates regularly for the several weeks.  You will find the SNAC site results on our website under “Archery Information/Scores”.

Go to the Archery Info/Scores page for the results from our week of OAA 10-ring championships.  Scores are posted for OAA and non-OAA members.  Congratulations to everyone who participated.  Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the Simzer/Henry families from their harrowing car accident that prevented them from joining us.  And, a big “sorry we missed you” to the Jaquemet family who had so much trouble getting back from Whistler and missed the event also.

Congratulations to everyone who shot today.  In particular, congratulations to our newest tournament shooters, Lynn Parker and Jaymes Vincent.  Well done!  You will find results elsewhere on the website.  See you at our next event:  the Ontario 10-ring indoor regional championships.
