On June 11th, SNAC ran 2 WA720 rounds. Thank you for everyone who attended.
During the afternoon round, SNAC member Shawn Matheson shot his 3rd and final qualification score to represent Canada at the Para Archery World Championships in Pilsen, CZE later in July this year.
Congratulations to all of our members and participants who joined us for house leagues in 2023. It is the first time since the COVID-19 Pandemic that we have been able to run a full season of indoor competition and the shooter numbers are starting to come back to pre-pandemic levels. That’s a good sign!
The results are listed in the link below. For house leagues, all equipment divisions used the outer 10. There were some really close races this year.
Thank you to everyone who joined us this year. Hopefully, we will see this year’s group back in January 2024, along with new participants who want to try some friendly competition in their local area.

Our SNAC advanced classes took on the annual March Nutrition Month Challenge to chart healthy eating for 1 week. 99% of our students participated – well done!
Rian Chicoine remains our nutrition champion for another year, with Pam Leclair only 10 points behind him. Congratulations, Rian and all our participants.
Remember that a balanced diet with good hydration and fewer “hollow calories” can help archery performance as well as overall health. Combined with good sleeping habits, you can feel better and have more energy. Take the nutrition challenge on your own – Kathleen Millar can send you a score sheet upon request.
2023 saw the return of full programming for the indoor season post-COVID-19, and we had good turn-out throughout the winter.
Our last tournament was MICA on Sunday, March 19th. Congratulations for all participants and to Jessica Last in particular, who continued to improve and shoot PBs throughout the season.
The MICA event runs throughout the year, so we will not know how are members fared until after December 31st. In the meantime, here are the club results.
Congratulations to all our fearless archers who showed up in some pretty hazardous driving conditions to shoot the 2023 Provincial IFAA Championships at SNAC today!
There were many good performances today, with several PBs, including Quintin Fawcett’s 299 / 300 in the U18 Compound Division.
The Recurve Division was led by Shane Bryson (267/300) and Pam LeClair (266/300)
Our club results are listed on the link below; full provincial results will be available on Archery Ontario’s website.
Dustin Watson is Canada’s latest World gold medallist following the 2022 World Archery Field Championships in Yankton, USA.
The U21 compound individual men’s gold-medal match was a nail-biter. Jevsnik (Slovenia) and Watson were tied after the first and second ends with 33 points, shooting on some very tricky target angles. The third end went to Jevsnik by 1 points and Watson tied up on the final end. With a one-arrow tiebreaker, both Jevsnik and Watson scored 5 points (out of a possible 6), but the Canadian’s arrow was closer, securing the win.
Watson was very happy with his result and was able to execute a solid shot for the win. Interviewed after the event, Dustin felt that it was a great learning experience to shoot against other top-seeded archers and he wants to come back to shoot more international events. He thanked his family, the team coach and his supportive teammates.
