Prairie Bowhunters Archery Club of Portage La Prairie recently hosted an exciting outdoor 3D Archery event on Sunday, June 11 near Haywood, MB. The event drew in a turnout of over 40 archers, most of whom were new to 3D archery events. It was a fantastic opportunity for these beginners to experience the fun outdoor 3D archery has to offer.
The club’s annual event was relaunched after a hiatus, thanks to the tremendous efforts of dedicated volunteers Graham McCutchen, Susan, and Garry Glenn, along with the Perron Family, including Angela, Pat, and Alex. Garry Glenn, a seasoned member of the Manitoba 3D archery community with over 30 years of involvement, expressed his satisfaction with the event, stating, “We were pleased with the event and were impressed with the number who showed up that had never been out before.”
To facilitate the newcomers’ understanding of scoring, the organizers thoughtfully set up a target at the registration area. This allowed new shooters to grasp the intricacies of scoring before embarking on the course. The sight of these enthusiastic novice archers was truly heartening for the organizers.
In addition to the enjoyment and camaraderie, the club successfully raised funds to purchase a replacement 3D target, accomplishing their financial goal for the event. This achievement ensures that future archery events will continue to be well-equipped and offer archers the best possible experience.
