We were pleased to host our first indoor tournament of the 2024-2025 season with our annual December WA18M event on December 15. It was encouraging to see people trying out competitive archery for the first time, as well as welcoming back regular indoor competitors.

Congratulations to Larry E. Smith who shot a new (unofficial) 60+ national record in Men’s Compound Unlimited of 561.

Here are the results for everyone who shot:

Lanes fees going up effective January 01, 2025

2024/11/082024/11/08 Kathleen Millar

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.

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.
