2025 Regional Indoor Championships at SNAC

We had some very competitive scores shot at SNAC on Sunday, March 02, 2025.  Every year during the first full weekend in March, Canada holds its regional indoor championship.  Our site was registered with World Archery and results can be found on i@nseo through the Archery Canada website, or here on our website results:

SNAC has one more sanctioned indoor tournament this season:  MICA on Sunday, March 16.  Some spaces are available on the 10am and 2pm line.  At this world regional event only WA-recognized classes may shoot:  compound, recurve and barebow.

If you would like to pre-register for this event, please write to: info@southnationarchery.com

Class Cancellation Policy

SNAC’s class cancellation policy is available on the Policies page under “About Us”. This policy addresses SNAC’s protocol regarding cancelled classes due to inclement weather, anticipated poor weather conditions during class time, and coach illness.

SNAC recognizes the importance of regular classes, but puts the safety of athletes and those driving them to class first.

Please contact Kathy or Larry if you have any questions or concerns which are not addressed in this policy.

Beginner Classes Registration Policy

Beginner Classes Registration:

Part 1:

All registrants will be required to pre-pay session fees when they pre-register for beginner youth and/or adult classes.

IMPORTANT information to participants:

STUDENTS / PARENTS must pre-pay using our e-transfer information forwarded directly to your personal e-mail address supplied to us OR, with an active credit card number, expiry date and security code when registering for Friday night classes.

There will be no reminder telephone call. Please record the dates of your session and come to lesson #1 10-15 minutes early.

REFUND POLICY: There is no refund for classes. We endeavour to keep our class fees as low as possible so that families can afford to participate in the sport. Therefore, SOUTH NATION ARCHERY SUPPLY will not provide refunds for missed sessions and/or classes.

Part 2:

If you have signed up for multiple sessions, you are not required to pre-pay all sessions. SOUTH NATION ARCHERY SUPPLY realises that life changes and that pressing matters may arise which preclude your participation in the sessions you signed up for.

However, we must be advised in advance of your changed circumstances.

IMPORTANT information to participants:

In order to avoid credit card charges, returning STUDENTS / PARENTS must tell us they are cancelling all other pre-registrations NO LATER THAN the 6th week of Friday night classes in which they are currently registered.

There will be no reminder telephone call. Please record the dates of your session.

We regret to have to institute this policy. However, SOUTH NATION ARCHERY SUPPLY is dealing with more no-shows while turning away other interested students.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.

2025 Parking Reminder for students & competitors

IMPORTANT message to class participants and league/tournament archers!

Please remember to park in our parking lot whenever possible.

DO NOT PARK on the south side of County Road 38.

If the parking lot is full, please park on the north side of the road only, and east of our lane way.

This notice is very important during the snow removal season; the OPP will have your car towed away if you are in the way of the snow-plough drivers.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Lanes fees going up effective January 01, 2025

For the first time in 35 years, South Nation Archery will be increasing its flat rate for using the indoor and outdoor target facilities.

Effective January 01, 2025, the range fee will be $10/person.

Unlike other shops, South Nation Archery does not charge you by-the-hour to use the lanes during normal business hours.  This flat fee is applicable to encourage archers to shoot quality arrows, and not to rush and learn bad habits.

Open practice / use of the lanes is not available when classes are in session.  Please call ahead to check if you will be able to shoot.

Thank you.

Millar judged at 2024 National Target and Field Championships

Kathleen Millar joined other national judges to volunteer at Archery Canada’s national field/target championships in Fredericton, NB during the first weeks of August.  It had all the dreaded 4-letter words for weather conditions:  heat, rain and wind, plus humidity in great supply for all 3 championships.

Competing at these championships were SNAC members Serenity Last, Connie Siedule and Garnett Last who battled challenging weather for the target nationals as the remnants of tropical storm Debbie came through north of the facility.

 

Great weather and great scores for 4×720 weekend 2024

Perfect weather conditions greeted archers shooting over the July 20-21 weekend.

Personal Best scores were shot on both days, for recurve, barebow and compound categories – congratulations to everyone.

Special shout-out to Kaity Horlock who earned national Gold Squad ranking on Saturday.

It was a good way to end our outdoor tournaments at SNAC.  Thank you to everyone who participated over the years and supported our club.

Shane Bryson top in 2024 SNAS Nutrition Challenge

Congratulations to Shane Bryson, who topped all other students both adults and youth with an almost perfect score during our annual Nutrition Week Challenge.

All students in the advanced classes keep track of their food intake for one week in accordance with the Canada Food Guide, plus earn bonus points for reducing empty calories, fried food and caffeine.

Many of our students either improved or stayed the same score as in 2023 – very few did worse.

So, congratulations to all our students during National Nutrition Month and the annual SNAS Nutrition Challenge!
