It was an amazing day for participants shooting the MICA event here at South Nation Archery.

Personal bests were shot by Jessica Last (SR W REC), Alison Langley (CDT W REC) and Alvin Zhang (CDT M REC).  Congratulations!

We had other great scores, too, and season bests were shot by several archers.  What a great way to end our indoor competitive season.

Since this tournament now runs throughout the entire calendar year, final results will not be published for quite some time, so you will need to be patient.

SNAC will finish indoor competitive programming on Monday, March 31 to end the national and provincial mailmatch and house league season.

Trump Tariff War and South Nation Archery

Kathleen Millar

Effective immediately, the reciprocal tariffs the Canadian government is imposing in response to the Trump tariff war, sporting goods coming into Canada from the United States will be taxed an additional 25%.

At South Nation Archery, we will continue to sell goods at prices as listed in the shop and on this website until present stock has been sold.  Then, unfortunately, all products originating from the USA will see a price increase when you visit our shop.

Though we are making every effort to encourage more east-west trade, in the archery industry some items are available only from American manufacturers and suppliers, for example PSE compound bows which we order directly from the factory in Tuscon, AZ, and 99% of all commercially available arrows.

We regret this price increase and that we need to pass it along to our customers.  In order to off-set this burden, all of our services and class/coaching fees will remain the same until/if the tariff war ends.  We look forward to your continued support and patronage.
