No entry was accepted, only donations. -->Over 165 pounds of food went to Harvest Algoma (a small contribution to the 330,000 lbs of food they distribute annually in the fight against food insecurity!) --> Christmas Cheer accepted a heaping cart full of toys,

“Is archery even a real sport?” What do you think? My thoughts: Absolutely. Sports require skill, physical exertion, and competition—check, check, and check. Archery demands focus, precision, and strength, especially at the highest levels, like the Olympics. In fact, it was one of the original Olympic sports in ancient Greece. But archery can be more than just a sport too. It can be an art, especially in traditional forms, where

Know someone who needs to try archery? Let them know that November 29th is the time - details in the 2nd image. (Psst - makes a great ladies night out or date night too!) How long has it been since you launched an arrow?

Testimonials like this sure make us grin :)

Gadgets! You might be wondering: what the heck are those things? When we picture an archer, we might imagine them drawing back a traditional, wooden bow. They might wearing an armguard, and they're pulling the bowstring with their fingers, right? Well, with most modern compound bows, grabbing the string with your fingers is simply not an effective choice. While there are some shooters who pull very large compound bows with their fingers,

Think your eyes aren't sharp enough for archery? Im Dong-Hyun, a South Korean archer with multiple Olympic medals and world records, proves that vision isn’t the biggest factor in hitting the target. Despite being legally blind—his “good” eye is 10 times worse than normal—he competes at the highest level. What he sees at 20 yards is like what most of us see at 200 yards. Archery is more about form, consistency, and mental tenacity than it

Is archery a good way to de-stress or meditate? Yes, 100%! Ask any shooter why they *really* spend time at the range 😄 Maybe you've heard of the kyudo practice of archery or the book "Zen in the Art of Archery". These are incredible, but we don't have to follow the Zen approach to feel better after letting a quiver full of arrows fly: ---Concentration: Archery demands complete concentration on the task at hand—on your form, on the

You know Robin Hood right? The guy famous for splitting an arrow by firing another one into the back of it? Today, we still call these destroyed arrows a robin hood. The two fused arrows are evidence of great focus, skill, strength and balance. They make a great trophy! Here's one from our class on Monday (zoom to see if it's right in the bull's eye too😁 ) Have you been there to hear the unmistakable sound and see this happen?

Huge congrats to Team Canada and coach Lana Perry (a co-host here!) for their impressive efforts at the World Archery 3D Championships. Competitors from across the country took their best skills to castle grounds in Slovenia where they shot at giant animal foam targets throughout the terrain. 🔗 More on SooToday, linked below.
