The 2 day shoot hosted by Woodland Traditional Archery was well attended. Alot of the targets were placed in new parts of the trail. The novelty shoot consisted of shooting at dinosaurs throughout the tournament. Want to thank Elmhurst Outdoors for the use of the property.
This was the first leg of the Maritime Traditional Archery Cup. The next leg is at the TAANS shoot hosted by Jay Rawding and Highland Bows and Arrows in Cape Breton on July 13 & 14, 2019. Hope to see many of you trad archers there.

Awaken your inner warrior! Join us as Master Hungarian Lajos Kassai comes to Nova Scotia to introduce this martial art and sport to Canada’s East Coast.
Learn an introduction to the Kassai shooting technique, equestrian foundations for this style of mounted archery, and how the Master runs his school and competitions. Come for one day, two days, or a full camp. Or come just to observe a profound event on a beautiful seaside farm. Participants are encouraged to camp as a group with minimal amenities in nomad fashion in the pretty seaside pastures at Wild Mountain Farm. Live music and local delicious meals to celebrate our training and restore our aching (hopefully not broken) bodies each night! Schedule: Day 1 Focus: The Bow. Presenting the dynamic Kassai fast-shooting technique proven to work on the back of a cantering horse when there’s “no time to think, just shoot”. Day 2 Focus: The Horse. Introducing the natural horsemanship concepts the Master uses on the ground to nourish the fundamental partnership for when the horse archer must let go of the rein to shoot. Day 3 Focus: The Horse and the Bow. The Master details his unique nuances from bareback basics to finding the standing rhythm in the stirrups of the Hungarian saddle, essential to incorporate the living horse below the waist. Day 4: The Competition. The Kassai Competition benchmarks how far a student has come. We will hold an official Kassai competition if we can attract a minimum of 9 riders who have proven they can shoot very well from the canter. Most of us will be fortunate observers this year! We believe we can do this, but if we are ahead of our time for this in Nova Scotia, this day will focus on more training and helping individuals develop their own personal training routines appropriate for continuing their journeys! For questions, registrations, and equipment orders/guidance: Contact Lance Bishop by email [email protected]. Maximum 30 daily participants and 60 observers on training days. Participants $120 CA/day, Observers $30 per day, family, volunteer, and full camp discounts. If there is interest, children’s nature exploration day camps will be run on the farm during training sessions for those who want to bring hiking-age little ones, compliments of Wild Roots Nature Education Center. This can be a family experience!
