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:
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.
IMPORTANT message to class participants and league/tournament archers!
Please remember to park in our parking lot whenever possible.
DO NOT PARK on the south side of County Road 38.
If the parking lot is full, please park on the north side of the road only, and east of our lane way.
This notice is very important during the snow removal season; the OPP will have your car towed away if you are in the way of the snow-plough drivers.
Thank you for your co-operation.

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:
Results are available also at: https://can.service.ianseo.net/General/CompetitionDetail.php?Competition=2024481
Our next tournament will be held on Sunday, January 12, 2025. It will be a WA18M.
Then, on Sunday, January 19, 2025, we will host the annual Ontario provincial IFAA round championship.
Space is limited, so if you wish to pre-register, contact Kathleen Millar at: info@southnationarchery.com
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.
