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.
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.
South Nation Archery is increasing class and coaching fees slightly, effective October 01, 2024.
For more details, see the rate card on our website drop-down menu under Classes.
Thank you.
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.
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.
Leading the pack of several successful advanced students, Quintin shot out 5 candle flames without touching the candle itself. Well done, Quintin.
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!
South Nation Archery was represented well at the first indoor version of Ontario Games in Thunder Bay February 22-28, 2024. Usually, archery has been in the summer games, but was switched into the winter for these games.
Serenity Last won her age category for both the 600 round and elimination day. Congratulations, Serenity and keep up the good work! Kathleen Millar was Eastern Zone Coach along with Garnett Last as Eastern Zone Manager. Eastern Zone archers medalled in each division athletes were registered in.
Thank you to Archery Ontario for funding our training camp in January, and to Jess Watson in particular for all her work.
Kathleen Millar, team coach, along with manager Garnett Last, will be supporting the Eastern Zone archery team to the 2024 Ontario Winter Games, February 22-26th, 2024. The Games are taking place in Thunder Bay, ON.
This is the first time that archery has been assigned to the Winter Games, and therefore, archers will be shooting indoors at 18m. The team age categories, U21 and younger, include recurve and compound archers from across the zone.
Archers are looking forward to all the aspects of competition and Games. There is a wide cross-section of archer experience and age on this team for males and females, from first-time major games participation to Pan Am youth championships.
While the Games are running, Kathleen Millar will not be available for private coaching from February 21 to 28, 2024. In the meantime, for further information on private lessons, please contact South Nation Archery at 613-989-2943 and speak with Larry.
Thanks to our competitors, some of whom travelled quite a distance to be here. We had another day of perfect weather.
