Training
Another very successful day of archery lessons held at the club's target field this past week-end. The weather cooperated this time although it was extremely hot!
Archery is an Olympic sport and is included in the Pan American, World, Commonwealth, Para-Olympic and Asian Games. The sport is governed by the Federation International de Tir a l'Arc (FITA). There are 130 member countries within this international federation. In Canada, the Federation of Canadian Archer (FCA), founded in 1927 governs the sport. The FCA is affiliated with FITA. Within Canada, each province has a provincial sport organization- the OAA (Ontario Association of Archers) in Ontario. Ottawa Archery Club is affiliated with FCA and OAA. They provide the link between nationally coordinated programs and participant clubs, schools and recreational camps. The Ottawa Archery Club has an enrollment of over 100 members from age 7 to 80 truly demonstrating archery is a sport of all ages.
We would like to have an indoor winter shooting location, but so far the membership has not indicated enough interest to support this activity. If you're interested in volunteering to help with this, or interested in teaching please let us know by contacting:
