Six out of eight Cariboo Archers reached the podium during the weekend in Cloverdale at the Canadian Indoor 3D Championships.
Bob and Mary Thurow both competed in competitive categories and shot well, however, didn’t quite earn a medal.
Their children, Ty and Joelle Thurow, won silver and gold, respectively, in their classes.
“Both kids happen to be at the bottom of their respective age categories,” said their coach, Al Campsall. “Ty and Joelle both have two more years in their categories, but proved they can shoot with the best in Canada.”
Ernie Schmid was a close second in the masters traditional class for a silver medal.
Dan Mobbs and Fred Streleoff battled the entire weekend for instinctive men’s supremacy where they traded leads often until Streleoff eventually prevailed in the end to win gold, while Mobbs finished right behind him for silver.
Campsall, meanwhile, brought home the gold medal in the masters 60 category.
This coming weekend is the Cariboo Archers Flatfield 3D Shoot at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association facility on Bond Lake Road.
“Archers of any skill level are welcome to come shoot a round or more,” Campsall said.
There will be a concession on site.
The event starts at 9 a.m. on Saturday and on 8 a.m. Sunday, however, archers can shoot any time during the day until around 3 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
