August 24, 2024 SNAC Indoor AWARDS Celebration
We have had quite a few challenges getting all the medals and certificates for those of you who competed in tournaments and mail matches since last May (understatement!). Thank you to everyone who was able to drop by to celebrate with us.
This year, we presented house league medals, ON mail match certificates, ON indoor champ medals, and AC medals for mail matches and the Regional Indoor Championship.
We realise that some of you may be on vacation or cannot join us on that day. We will keep your awards, if any, until you can drop in.
Even if you shot tournaments as a guest, we are celebrating your participation, too.
If you were not able to be with us and you earned a medal/certificate, you can drop by our shop during normal business hours to pick up your awards.

Quintin Fawcett 2024 Candle Master
Leading the pack of several successful advanced students, Quintin shot out 5 candle flames without touching the candle itself. Well done, Quintin.
Shane Bryson top in 2024 SNAS Nutrition Challenge
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!
2024 Mail matches & House Leagues ended
SNAC had a much better post-COVID-19 turn-out for leagues this year and there were terrific scores shot both provincially and nationally. The mail match results are posted on all 3 websites: SNAC’s, Archery Ontario, and Archery Canada.
We hope to have a small celebration and awards ceremony in the late spring. More details to follow.
Note: With the end of leagues, Saturday mornings are now available for private lessons and general shooting indoors.
More about leagues and mail matches:
For those archers who want to test themselves a little more, but like the comfort of staying close to home in the winter time, house leagues and mail matches are events you should sign up for at South Nation Archery.
Starting on Saturday, January 06 and running until the end of March, from 9am until noon, you can participate in any or all of:
- house leagues
- provincial mail matches (membership required – sign up on-line)
- national mail matches (membership required – sign up on-line)
All rounds are 30 arrows, shot at 18m. We follow national rules for target face sizes and equipment divisions.
Cost per round: $10.00
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.

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.
