Hello from Calgary Alberta , we have quite a large following of traditional archers here and throughout Alberta north south east and west. There are some great hunting opportunities here, but the hardest most times is just getting permission to hunt on some of these properties. There are many shoots throughout the year so you get to shoot under many conditions as you would get in many hunting situations, you get an opportunity to shoot with and meet some awesome people here from all over, and not just from Alberta. The 2 biggest shoots that we have for me are the NALS= North American Longbow Safari that rotates between a location one year here in Canada and following year in the United States, the other big shoot is the Heritage Classic Jamboree that is put on through the ATBA= Alberta Traditional Bowhunters Association, which is open to both longbows and recurve shooter, the NALS is longbow only and broadheads only other than flu flu arrows for the aerial targets which have field points.
These are the biggest traditional archery shoots but there are many more that take place giving archers a chance to shoot, meet, meet some of the great traditional bowyers that also come and setup at these shoots, as well as some of the traditional suppliers of archery related gear from shafting , feathers, points, arm guards etc, and make some great friends because over time these shoots are like big family get togethers because over time we do become a very close and closer knit family. So come on out, loose some arrows and become part of the family brotherhood extended family, if you are a loner and just want to shoot then that will be respected as well, but just come on out and shoot and have fun.
