The Recurve Division was led by Shane Bryson (267/300) and Pam LeClair (266/300)

Congratulations to all our competitors today.  We had a good turn-out as people come back to competition after the COVID-19 break.

Today, we had 2 outstanding performances:

Quintin Fawcett CPD M CDT shot 283/287, the 2nd round is a PB

Serenity Last REC F CDT shot 266(PB)/255, total 521 is a PB

South Nation Archery Hosted National Paralympic Mixed Team Training Camp

Kathleen Millar

Kathleen Millar and SNAC hosted the small, but important national team training camp June 25-28.  The National Para Mixed Team, comprising of Karen Van Nest and Kevin Evans, trained and simulated competition in preparation for a Paralympic World Ranking Event in the Czech Republic starting on June 30th.

As part of the pre-event camp, national Team Leader Duncan Crawford (PEI) attended as well.  Other team support members were able to attend also.

In order to simulate match play for Karen and Kevin, Kaity Horlock, Hannah Rousseau, Alexandra Paquette and Robin Horlock all participated in the Round Robin and Super-team eliminations.  Thank you for volunteering!  To thank our volunteers, Larry grilled a great smorgasbord of delights to go with all the salads.

Good luck to our Canadian Paralympic Mixed Team in the Czech Republic!
