South Nation Archery is a pro shop, specialising in archery ONLY; we are not a general sporting goods store.

South Nation Archery continues to train new and advanced archers.  We coach bowhunters as well as
recreational archers, local, provincial, state and national Champions,
World Regional Champions, World Champions and Paralympians.

Come join our classes, leagues, tournaments and events!

2025 MICA at SNAC Results

Kathleen Millar

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.

Results can be found on our website using this link: 

MICA_2025_Results_for_SNAC_ON012_2025-03-16 (12.7KB PDF) - March 16th, 2025

Or you can use the Archery Canada website for our site results.

https://can.service.ianseo.net/General/CompetitionDetail.php?Competition=2025021

Since this tournament now runs throughout the entire calendar year, final results will not be published for quite some time, so you will need to be patient.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

If you are interested in participating in our house leagues and/or mail matches and tournaments in 2025-26, please contact Kathleen Millar for more details at:  info@southnationarchery.com

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.

Class Cancellation Policy

Kathleen Millar

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

Kathleen Millar

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.
