2022 Nova Scotia 3-D Indoor Championships

John’s Archery on the road…

The ANS Indoor Provincial Championships were hosted by the Northumberland Strait Shooters and took place at the WM Sobey Indoor Sports Complex in Stellarton.

It was a one-day event (3D) by shooting two rounds of 20 targets, two arrows per target without a break. It was a challenge and of course as always a lot of fun.

50 archers attended the shoot. 16 traditional and 34 compound shooters.

The event was well organized and the setup was incredible. Big thanks to everyone.

BTA FALL CLASSICS 2021

The second BTA ‘Fall Classics’ tournament on Cape Breton Island took place on Sunday, September 19, 2021.
40 archers were registered. 30 archers showed up, 29 were competing at the event.

The weather didn’t look good. The pouring rain the night before the event caused the outdoor tents to collapse. Repairs had to be done in the morning of the tournament, which was mastered excellently.
By the time the registration was done and the groups were all put together: it was still raining.
No worries – as we Cape Bretoners say: If you don’t like the weather – wait 15 minutes 🙂
And off we go, into the woods….

Two courses were set up with 20 targets each. One course had to be done in the morning, the other one in the afternoon. And guess what happened? At approx. target number 5, the rain stopped for the rest of the day. Thanks again to the CBI weather dynamic.

During the lunch break, the shooters could prove their skills by shooting through an opening on a moving target. All participants had a lot of fun and laughter. The winner after the shoot-off was John Cann.
See one of the shooters, Ian MacKinnon, in action here.

Mostly all of the BTA members were participating in the event, eight of the members won a medal.

Some had to drive for more than 8 hours, some didn’t know what to expect or started archery just a few weeks ago and again: the weather didn’t cooperate the night before and in the morning. Well done!

TAANS 2021 in Parrsboro

TAANS has partnered with Down by the Bay Traditional Archery Club in Parrsboro NS for
a two-day shoot on August 14 and Aug 15.

… on the road again.

Two different courses awaited us to shoot. Two rounds (40 targets, 2 arrows, 2 days) makes 160 arrows.
Due to the weather (beautiful summer over 30 degrees celsius) the Saturday shoot was a challenge for all of the participants. Water was the most important thing to have which was provided by the DBTB team.

On Saturday afternoon there was a Fun Shoot prior to a Potluck supper also provided by the DBTB team for anyone that would like to join in on the feast. All needed to bring was a hungry belly and a chair to sit on.  It was so delicious.

Back to the Fun Shoot – the legendary milk jug shoot.

Milk Jug Fun Shoot 🙂

Among the top ten in their respective groups were:

Female: Marlene Gavel 3rd place;
Bridget Benz 4th place;
Shauntelle Mombourquette 6th place;
Male: John Cann 3rd place;
Joe McGilivary 4th place.
Volunteer of the day: Karen Cann

CONGRATULATIONS!
A BIG THANK YOU to the team of DBTB!

The provincial championships this year were hosted by the Glooscap Heritage Archers Association in Windsor NS.

Gloosecap, already known for its famous Frozen Finger Shoot, why not go to the provincials?

No sooner said than done. The weather was gorgeous.

It was a one-day event by shooting two rounds of 20 targets but only one arrow per target. It was a challenge and a lot of fun.

Congratulation to JoeMcGillivary, Bridget Benz, John D Cann and Shauntelle Mombourquette
