NEW TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS – CLAYTON FLEET AND NAYTHON FLEET

Good Morning members!  Some of you may know us, some may not.  We are your newly elected Tournament Directors Naython Fleet and Clayton Fleet.  We have some big plans for this year and hope you all come out to enjoy the fun.

Our resume is endless as archery is our life – hunting and tournaments.  OUR GOAL IS TO GROW THE SPORT

Naython – “I compete almost every weekend around the prairies, and I have set up multiple tournaments around Canada.  I’ve been in the sport for 13 years and compete on a North American level.  Currently I have competed in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, B.C, and Alberta along with competing at the Organization of Professional Archers In Pennsylvania.  I also worked in a Pro Shop for 4 years and can help answer any questions regarding your set-up.”

Clayton – “I have been shooting for 13 years now.  I have experience in running tournaments as an executive club member, and was on two different club boards since I started in the sport.  First was in Shilo, Manitoba and the second was a much smaller club in Newfoundland both in which we managed to get the club to grow beyond our expectations.  During my time in  Shilo, I organized a few 3D indoor shoots with my team hosting archers from all over Manitoba and into Saskatchewan, and in Newfoundland I organized mail matches thru Archery Canada.”

When at the range or competitions, look for the blue and pink Hoyt or the Nock On NTN set up for target and say HI – that’s us!

Below is a list of 3D archery tournaments we recommend as a first to shoot below, hunters and non-hunters attend these with 60-130 attending on average.  Shooting at other clubs and meeting new people is how our club will grow and evolve, and it also gives us new challenges to improve our own skills.  Lets get Parkland’s name on the map!

  1. Ironman (biggest indoor shoot in Canada) January 28-29th – Lethbridge

CABIN FEVER 3D SHOOT

Thank you to everyone who attended our Cabin Fever 3D Shoot on April 30th, 2022!  It was so nice to see the smiles on everyone’s face. 
The proceeds of this shoot were going to support our junior program, and so many of our top shooters decided to not accept their prize money but to donate it back to the juniors!  The archery community is awesome and we really want to thank these folks for their generosity.  
We would also like to thank our many volunteers who helped make this shoot possible.  It would have never happened without each and every one of you!  Thank you!

OUTDOOR RANGE 

Our range is conveniently located west of Villeneuve on a beautiful wooded property.

Our members enjoy virtually 24/7 access to the range facilities.  Please remember to take pride in the range and do not litter.  If you see garbage laying around, please pick it up, and don’t forget to clean up after your dog as well!  The owner of the property tours the range on a regular basis and has commented how clean and well kept the range is.  If you see somethings wrong or needs fixing, please contact one of the Executive members.
