Open Shooting Times

League 2024 2025

If you are an adult member and wish to shoot, own your own equipment, you will be able to purchase a key to the range.

You need to do an online exam for Range Safety Officer, unless you are judge.  This coarse can be found on the Archery Canada Web site. 

You will be able to shoot when there are no classes, tournaments, clinic's, meetings.

8:00 am to 11:00 pm

 

There will be a special night for new members or anyone needing a bit more help.  This will Tuesday nights, now till December.

 

This is a GREAT way to practice! You can score each of the times you shoot so that you know if you are progressing. Change something, and shoot again to see if your score improves.

Meet other adult members and gain intimate knowledge of how they shoot, what equipment they use, what works and what doesn't. Practice on all the different kinds of archery butts you would shoot in other competitions. Learn how the scoring and competition shooting is done so you are not intimidated when you compete.

 The rules are set up as follows:

1.    Sign up to submit a league score. You choose your lane and target. Scores cards are provided.

2.    Scores must be shot on a 40 cm target.

3.     You MUST submit 20 (twenty) scores to qualify for a league standing, and to get your name on the trophies.  These are averaged over the course of all the top scores, so shoot lots so that your lowest scores are              thrown out! I know - it's cheating - I wish we could do this for tournaments.

4.    Two signatures are a must on the score card summited.  Ex: Archer shooting and Witness

5.    Two people must be present when shooting scores for league.

6.     Rules subject to change, but league members will be notified.

7.    Only shoot when the range is not being used for JOP Classes, School Classes, Home School Classes, Tournaments, Try It Days.  Please check silvertiparchers.ca 

8.    If in DOUBT, ASK. Most of the members can advise you of which category/class you are in and how it works. It's easy! It's FUN.

9.      If shooting a CMP more than 60 pounds, please move your target around the butt as you shoot so you do not shoot out a one spot on the target face.

10. Have the Range Officer Safety Course,( if you are going to be a key holder) found on the Archery Canada Web Site.
