Join us on Sunday, November 24th in Vanscoy for a fun, challenging archery competition. THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER

Google Maps (this is a twenty minute drive from Saskatoon)

Entry is $5 to compete in one division; $10 for both.

For the tournament, there will be two divisions:

  • Division 1 is SCA legal shooting: traditional bows without augmentation (weights, sights including peep sights or pins, stabilizers, clickers, etc), shooting wooden arrows.
  • Division 2 is open to anyone shooting a traditional bow regardless of arrow type.

Prizes will be awarded in both divisions for 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions.

Every MWIT is unique, with the goal of having fun, being challenging, and encouraging new shooters to try the art and feel what a competition is like in a cheerful environment.

We will be shooting a legal Grand Archery Tournament Seasonal – Tic-Tac-Toe with an option of having results submitted to the GAT scoreboard.

The target is nine 20-cm circles arranged in a 3 circle across by 3 circles down.

We will shoot four rounds in each division at the following distances and under the following conditions.

  • 15 yards – six arrows in your own time at the target
  • 15 yards – thirty-second timed round
  • 20 yards – six arrows in your own time at the target
  • 20 yards – thirty-second timed round

Archers get a point for each arrow in a circle (positive line breaks) and an extra five points for each row of three successfully struck circles, like a win in a tic-tac-toe game. With six arrows, a maximum score of 21 can be made. With a timed-round, the sky’s the limit.


Medieval Garb is encouraged but not required. Equipment can be provided for those who do not have bows, arrows, or the relevant gear but would like to participate. Merchants and bards may be present.
