Archery Canada Mailmatch is here. It runs from June 6th to Sept 26, 2021
"What is Outdoor Mailmatch?
Outdoor Mailmatch is a National Competition shot in the comfort of your own club! This competition takes place annually between June 1 and September 30. Due to the vast geography of our country, it can be difficult to attend all National competitions, but the desire to see where you stand against other Canadian Archers is still there. Mailmatch allows for this to happen without having to travel further than your local club. Each week an archer can submit one score, scores coming from a week, running Monday to Sunday, and the average of your six top scores shot throughout the designated time period will be used to determine your final placing."
So, if you're a compound, Olympic or barebow archer this is your chance to get a little safe competition in.
If you have any questions or want to know more about the rules please check out: https://archerycanada.ca/national-competitions/outdoor-mailmatch/ or email our WA/FITA coordinator at mattjhogan@gmail.com
Covid 19 Guidelines:
Shooters must be in groups of 5 or less, and must maintain the 2 meter physical distancing as required by law. This may mean leaving a shooting lane between groups if there are others at the range.
Pull your own arrows.
Bring hand sanitizer, and use it often.
Ottawa Archers is a west Ottawa/Richmond area based club. Our outdoor 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, they cause too much damage to the targets. Field points only please.
Ottawa Archers Membership year is April 1-March 31- Mark your calendar to remind yourself to renew in the spring!
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.
