Young archers prepare themselves and take aim at targets of varying distances in last Sunday’s junior Olympian program competition at the old QYSA fields.

Archers from Vanderhoof, Prince George, Williams Lake and Quesnel gathered at the old QYSA soccer fields to compete on a provincial level.

Quesnel was one of three areas where archers gathered to take part in the contest. Archers also shot in Squamish and Duncan, with all three areas comparing their scores to find the best shooters across an array of fields.

Archers ranged from 8-18 years old and were split into three categories along age lines into cub, cadet and junior. These age categories were further split between male and female archers and with regards to what kind of bow – barebow, recurve or compound – they shot with.
