Avid archers were encouraged to aim at numerous 3-D archery targets near Preeceville on August 13 and 14
"The shoot attracted 90 archers from across the area that included Regina, Saskatoon, Yorkton, Hudson Bay, Canora, as well as Preeceville and Sturgis local area," said Brad Cameron.
Archers had the opportunity to walk two courses, each with its own challenges. Targets were set-up in realistic settings. The types of targets included: bear, turkey, wild boars, panther, cougars, elk, deer, moose, antelope, buffalo, a mosquito and an alligator.
There was an iron buck novelty shoot that featured archers shooting at an iron outline of a buck at different distances. Mason Babiuk won the junior category shooting from 20 yards. Clint Belesky was the senior winner, shooting from 60 yards.
A steak supper concluded the shoot on Saturday evening.
Prior to handing out medals, Brad Cameron acknowledged Mark Huska for using his land for the shoot; archers who participated; sponsors; the Sturgis Archery Club members, and individuals who helped with kitchen, registration and shuttle services.
He also conducted a live auction that sold off older animal targets of a bear, turkey, antelope, doe, coyote and pigs.
