Two Williams Lake archers fired impressive results at the 2013 World 3D Archery Championships in Sassari, Italy earlier this month.

Fred Streleoff and Al Campsall, both members of the local Cariboo Archers, represented Team Canada at the event after finishing first in their respective classes at the Canadian 3D Archery Championships Aug. 2-10 in Woodstock, NB.

Streleoff, competing in his first world championships, finished fifth overall — narrowly missing the podium — in the Instinctive Recurve category.

Campsall, at his second world championships, finished 30th in the competitive Compound category — one place better than his last result at the world championships two years ago in Austria.

Campsall is a 10-time Canadian national champion in his event, while Streleoff, this year, picked up his second national title at the competition.
