Archery

For Your Information:

The Vegreville Wildlife Federation executive have decided to postpone the 2020 fall Session of the youth archery program due to Covid 19.

The safety of our athletes & families as well as the coaches and volunteers takes priority. Though this decision was hard to make (because we as a club MISS these athletes), we know it is the best decision at this time to make! We can not run classes in our building with the protocols recommend by Alberta Target Archers Association (see the link below).

We will re-evaluate after Christmas for the January & Spring sessions!

We will be back eventually and hope to see you all back with us! Coach Jamie and the jr coaches can not wait to see everyone when we are allowed to do so!

If you have any questions please contact the club and we appreciate your patience!

Shoot Straight and Stay Safe 🏹

Sincerely

2020 VWF Executive

About Our Program

* Program started in 2011.
* All 3D targets were sponsored by local businesses. Without their support the the program could not have started.
* Received grant money at program startup to purchase bows and target backstops.
Forty to eighty archers participate in our program each year.
The archery program emphasizes safety and patience.
* The Canbow Archery Badge Program is followed. It is a great activity for the entire program. This program is affiliated with Alberta Target Archers Association (Alberta Archery).
* The VWF Archery club sponsors an annual 3D archery shoot every early summer (May or June). The 8th annual shoot was held at the VWF outdoor gun range.
2018 saw six archers try out for the Alberta Winter Games. One archer made the team and three archers were chosen as alternates!
2016 saw seven of our archers participate in tryouts for the Alberta Winter games. Three archers made the team!
* 2014 saw one archer go to the Alberta Winter Games representing this zone!
