The Trail Riders Arena in Williams Lake played host to the annual Cariboo Archers’ Indoor 3D Shoot last Saturday.
Bears, dinosaurs, elk, moose, snakes and several other foam targets made up the range as archers — many of whom came from out of town — attempted to accumulate points based on their accuracy throughout the weekend.
“Although it did not warm up a lot inside the Trail Riders Arena a great time was had by all,” said Al Campsall, treasurer with the Cariboo Archers.
Multiple members of the Junior Olympic Archery Program in Williams Lake also took part in the event.
