Resuming New Member Orientations

After about a two month pause, we are pleased to resume orientations – new members can now join the club! We are committed to following both the letter and the spirit of Public Health guidelines, working our way back to “normal” (whatever that turns out to be) in a cautious and graduated way. The KTSA is determined to keep the safety of our members and our community top of mind as we reintroduce club activities as conditions allow. Here is how we will begin to conduct orientations.

1. Small groups only – maximum of 5 individuals per orientation session.
2. Transportation – people must use their own vehicles throughout the orientation.
3. Physical distancing – we will maintain the 2 meter distancing requirement throughout the orientation session.
4. Health – do not attend if you have symptoms such as persistent cough, sneezing, fever or if you are feeling less than completely well. Obviously, you cannot attend if you are self-isolating or quarantined due to recent return from travel or known contact with infected persons.
5. PPE – use protective masks and gloves is encouraged, though not compulsory.
6. Bring your completed and signed application form. Payment by cheque is encouraged. We also accept cash, but please bring the exact amount to minimize money handling.
7. Bring eye and ear protection as we will likely be entering active shooting areas.
8. Review the range rules and be prepared to bring forward any questions for discussion.
9. You are certainly welcome to bring firearms if you wish to stay at the range and shoot after the orientation!

To arrange an orientation, please contact Jim Bartlett at 250-374-6651 or at jrbartlett@shaw.ca. (Please leave a contact phone number if you email).

Annual KTSA Archery 3D Shoot April 25/26

UPDATE: Shoot has been cancelled because of the CoViD-19 pandemic

We have our annual shoot coming up April 25/26.  details and poster for the event to follow as well as up to date on our “Kamloops Archers” Facebook page.

3D shoots are a lot of work and we do a host a much anticipated and well attended event.

So, we have some workdays planned, the first one this coming Sunday (March 8th) 10:00 am at the archery range.  This will be mostly planning and organizing with some plotting of the course.   Then the weekend of April 11/12th for getting the course up and running, setting targets, stakes etc.  Also then the Thursday (23rd) and Friday (24th) just before the shoot, we will be on site finalizing the event.
We could also use a hand for tear down on the Sunday (26th) of the event from 2:00 pm, ATV’s especially welcome!

We have lots planned for the courses, the fun shoots, evening events and other things to make the shoot stand out so if you have not tried 3D archery and want to, its a great opportunity to come along and see what it’s all about.  With vendors invited and a buy and sell/trade blanket on site too.

We are also looking for sponsors, prize donations and all that good stuff if anyone can help us along with that, all community involvement welcomed.

Outdoor Range Condition

To all outdoor range users:

With the current weather patterns of rain, snow and freezing temperatures it has become impossible to keep the range access road in good condition.Unless you have GOOD Winter tires and /or CHAINS we strongly suggest you use the road with extreme caution. With any luck Domtar and the KTSA road maintenance group can get ahead of the ice and snow issues in the near future.
