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.

2023 Nutrition Challenge Well Done

Kathleen Millar

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.
