Are you a perfectionist about bow tuning and maintenance? Or more of a "set it and forget it" type of archer? Here's Lana showing a group of compound bow shooters the basics of using a bow press, string and cable installation, peep sight tying, and D-loops. The traditional recurve shooters were focused more on repairing string loop serving & arrow tuning. ...and everyone was interested in arrow fletching! Here's a fresh set of Easton

Happy New Year! Can you guess where I'm shooting? I'm feeling lucky to launch some arrows with no toque, no gloves today. Even stripped the sweater and long sleeves after a bit. Got me thinking of watching my feathered arrows drill a tunnel through the torrential rain at Nationals in Amos, QC (2009 I think?); of snowshoeing and shooting the field archery trail in March; of provincial matches nearly getting cancelled due to sweltering heat

The snow-mageddon from two weeks ago postponed our Bring-A-Friend night, but most folks were able to join us for the make-up date. We had a great time with a soundtrack including punk covers of holiday classics 😆 What's your favourite music for an archery playlist?

I thought I'd play with a pinkie trigger on the compound rig for a bit. It certainly forces me to focus on follow-through! Definitely can't slouch or get sloppy with back tension (engaging the musles of the upper back to brace and follow through properly). There's a bit of a learning curve and I don't think it will be my main choice but it's reinforcing some good habits.

Archers came together on a festive firing line this weekend. The annual Christmas Cheer Shoot, hosted by Arrows In Motion & The Algoma Rod & Gun Club, saw four full lines of archers. 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

55 archers of all ages competed at the Arrows In Motion Fall Fling this weekend

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,

Top to bottom: trigger release with jaws; trigger release with a hook; thumb trigger release.
