We had 3 people shoot flames out correctly this year. Congratulations to all the Advanced Class members who tried to split the wick. We had dozens of arrows go straight through the flames, but never put out the flame without touching the candle.
Our 3 top archers were: Leona Crabb (recurve), Mike Wood (compound), Robert Hoger (compound) and Frank Hallett (compound).
This event is held only one time each year, in the advanced class, under maximum safety conditions.
March is always nutrition month in Canada. In order to recognise the importance of healthy eating to good shooting, the 4 advanced groups taking lessons on Wednesdays and Thursdays participate in a week-long nutrition challenge. How well can I eat for a week, following the Canada Food Guide (dietary needs taken into consideration)?
This year, all but 1 student handed in their completed challenge forms and the numbers were impressive. The majority of students who participated in other years showed improved compliance – well done, everyone!
Special mention for the highest scores achieved in each of the 4 classes: Robert Hoger (overall highest score), Landon Ardron, Mark Malkowski (most improved score), and Fred & Jenn Sequillion.
All beginner, intermediate and advanced group lessons are posted on our website for the upcoming instructional season for youth and adults.
Use the Classes drop-down menu for details including pre-registration and fees.
Kathleen looks forward to working with all students.

Thank you.
Leading the pack of several successful advanced students, Quintin shot out 5 candle flames without touching the candle itself. Well done, Quintin.
There was no dominant archer this year in the advanced classes. And though we had a lot of arrows pass through the flame, only the following archers put it out without touching the candle itself. One candle each for:
Compound archers
Emma McMillan, Hannah Rousseau, Bill Mackey and Hester Grodde.
Recurve archers
Pam Leclair, Bob Kerr and Luke Seldenthuis
Congratulations to all students!
