More than 100 archers soaked in the sunshine during the weekend for the annual Cariboo Archers Outdoor 3D Shoot.
After snow put a damper on last year’s shoot, this year’s weather was a welcomed addition as archers walked two courses — an ‘A’ and a ‘B’ — firing 20 shots on each course at foam-made, lifelike, animal targets over two days at various distances posing unique challenges for competitors.
“The weather finally co-operated and the shoot went exceedingly well,” said Cariboo Archers treasurer Al Campsall.
For those brave enough to enter, an ‘Extreme’ category was also available.
“Archers may enter to shoot 10 extremely difficult shots spread over the 40-target course,” Campsall said. “Many shooters do not like it as potentially many arrows are lost or destroyed hitting rocks, trees, etc.”
In the extreme category Ernie Schmid picked up the victory in the traditional division, while Campsall won the compound division.
