2025 Provincial IFAA Indoor Championship results at SNAC

Today, we hosted the annual Ontario IFAA Regional Championships a week earlier than usual so our club members could compete at this event and shoot the Lancaster Shoot as well, if they wished.  We had a good turn-out with some outstanding scores in all divisions.

Congratulations to all archers.

Results have been forwarded to Archery Ontario for posting.  The link below provides results for those who shot at our site, including guests in the club tab of the Excel file.

Since this is a regional event spanning over a week every January, full results may not be available on the Archery Ontario website until January 26, the last day of the championship.  Please be patient.

Good shooting to all club members travelling to Pennsylvania for the Lancaster Archery event.

South Nation’s next sanctioned tournament will be the Provincial 10-ring Regional Championship to be held on four separate dates:  February 17, 19 and 20 (Practice at 5pm; Scoring at 6pm) and Sunday, February 23 (Practice at 9am; Scoring at 10am).  Space is still available on all 4 lines.

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.

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.
