Sarah Freemark makes a return visit to South Nation Archery Supply/Club to learn that you don’t need your eyes open in order to make a good shot and that you need to execute the shot properly in order to be accurate with a release aid.
Enjoy watching all 4 segments with Kathy and Larry. This show aired on March 31, 2014.

The always charming and genuine television personality, Sarah Freemark joined us again at South Nation Archery Supply and Club to follow up on her archery skills and knowledge.
She worked with Larry and Kathy to learn the finer points of shooting compound bows with release aids and recurve bows for kinaesthetic awareness and proper form.
This pre-taped session will air on CTV Ottawa’s Morning Show on March 31st. It should be fun!
After an absence of 2 years, Christopher Perkins returned to shoot at the club where it all started. Today, Chris tied his own world indoor record of 599/600 shooting at South Nation Archery Club. He put on quite a demonstration, shooting 597 in the morning, and then staying perfect through the first 45 shots!
Congratulations to Christopher! Congratulations to all SNAC members today – there were personal bests and some great shooting on both the morning and afternoon lines!
With 37X, Christopher Perkins has set the world record bar very, very high indeed for compound men shooting the 720-50M round.
Christopher’s unofficial world record score of 715 out of a possible 720 was set during the Archery Canada national target/field/3D championships in Woodstock, New Brunswick, August 2-10, 2013.
Congratulations once again, Christopher!!! This record should stand for a while!
One of the most important archery manufacturer in the world passed away recently: Mr. Gail Martin, President of Martin Archery. A true gentleman and innovator, owner of 24 patents including the CamAct, he was an industry leader. Thank you, Mr. Martin, for everything you have done for modern archery, both recurve and compound.Gail Martin passes away at age 93

We regret to pass on more sad news, but Gilbert (Gib) Henderson has departed this world and we will miss him. It’s strange that Gib dies of complications due to a stroke so close after Tom Jennings left us because they could have been related, so close were they in temperament and in their love of archery.
Through good years and bad, Gib always helped out the archers of Saskatchewan and took on roles when no one else would help. His whole family grew up in the sport and his lovely wife, Wilma, was there all the time, too.
Condolences and special thoughts go out to Wilma, Phil, Karen and the rest of the Henderson family.
It is with sadness and regret that we share the passing of Tom Jennings, compound bow company owner, inventor, innovator and mentor. For those of us who knew him, or worked with him, Tom was a giant among giants. Passionate to a fault, sometimes stubborn as a mule, he was always an endearing, irascible soul and a fighter to the end.
He retired from the archery industry to Honduras some years ago and recently suffered from ill health. And now, he is gone. We will miss you, Tom.
