Four Candle-Masters for 2026

We had 3 people shoot flames out correctly this year.  Congratulations to all the Advanced Class members who tried to split the wick.  We had dozens of arrows go straight through the flames, but never put out the flame without touching the candle.

Our 3 top archers were:  Leona Crabb (recurve), Mike Wood (compound), Robert Hoger (compound) and Frank Hallett (compound).

This event is held only one time each year, in the advanced class, under maximum safety conditions.

2026 Nutrition Challenge Big Success – Great Participation

March is always nutrition month in Canada.  In order to recognise the importance of healthy eating to good shooting, the 4 advanced groups taking lessons on Wednesdays and Thursdays participate in a week-long nutrition challenge.  How well can I eat for a week, following the Canada Food Guide (dietary needs taken into consideration)?

This year, all but 1 student handed in their completed challenge forms and the numbers were impressive.  The majority of students who participated in other years showed improved compliance – well done, everyone!

Special mention for the highest scores achieved in each of the 4 classes:  Robert Hoger (overall highest score), Landon Ardron, Mark Malkowski (most improved score), and Fred & Jenn Sequillion.
