AGM IS SATURDAY FEBRUATY 10TH, 2024 AT THE TWIN ELM CLUBHOUSE, upstairs at 11AM.
ALL MEMBERS MUST ATTEND IF POSSIBLE TO ELECT BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
We recently had Rabb Construction remove the 2 old trailers at the 3D range, in order to clean up and prepare a spot for the NEW storage unit that has been generously donated from Beckwith Storage!
The 3D range is open all year- you may need snowshoes, but it's a lot of fun to shoot even in the winter! Please park in the lot, as the road up to the range is not maintained in the winter.
We are excited to announce that Ottawa Archer's will participate in the Archery Canada Outdoor Mailmatch again in 2024 from June 1 to September 30 on Saturdays at 7:30 am. This national archery competition enables archers from different clubs and regions to compete against each other without traveling far from their local club.
The match is called a 720 outdoor archery match where archers shoot 72 arrows at a distance of 20 meters (65.62 feet) based on age categories. Each archer shoots 12 sets of 6 arrows within a 4-minute time limit, with scores added up to determine the winner in each division.
To participate, sign up and pay $10.00 per person via this link: https://buff.ly/3Ncccgt. Scorecards can be downloaded here: https://tinyurl.com/4k29jy8v.
This event is an excellent opportunity for archers of all levels to challenge themselves, gain experience, and compete against others from different regions of the country. Whether you shoot Recurve, Compound, Compound Unlimited, Compound Fixed Pins, Barebow, or Hunter, you are welcome to join.
Please note that the Mailmatch coordinator must be present for all your matches to submit your scores. For a full description of the divisions, please read: https://tinyurl.com/6kvf4sp9.
Good luck in your archery endeavors, and we hope to see you at the Mailmatch.
Best regards,

Members, there is a new combination lock for the gate. You will receive it with your renewal, or email Cheryl.
Ottawa Archers is a west Ottawa/Richmond area based club. Our outdoor 3D range is open to our members 365 days a year from dawn until dusk. We are a loosely structured club- mostly self serve and unsupervised, for archers who wish to shoot 3D, target butt, or Target (FITA) archery. We welcome new members of all ages, (children must be supervised by their accompanying adults). Membership details can be found on our 'Register' page.
Crossbows are allowed on the 3D targets and the practice butts, but NOT on the field archery targets. NO BROADHEADS allowed anywhere, as they cause too much damage to the targets. Field points only please.
All dogs at the range must be leashed, and please pick up after them!
Ottawa Archers Membership year is April 1-March 31- Mark your calendar to remind yourself to renew in the spring! Membership cards must be displayed while at the range.
We have three target butts with distance marked at 10m, 20m, 30m, 40m, 50m as well as a 3D course with 15 shooting lanes; most lanes have a couple of targets, and some hanging target parts for fun.
We also have a Target Archery (FITA) field with up to 70m targets.
Target butts are set on the field at 20m, 30m, 40m, 50m, 60m, and 70m distances.
