Wolf Creek Gun and Bow Association hosts archery shoot

Posted

The Wolf Creek Gun and Bow Association (WCGBA) hosted its first annual WCGBA Archery Shoot at the Fisher Archery Range. 

Forty-nine competitors faced off for a fun-in-the-woods walk-around 3-D animal shoot that challenged even the most accomplished archers. 

Eight categories of competitors tested their skills in the Men’s Open, Women’s Open, Men’s Bowhunter, Women’s Bowhunter, Men’s Traditional, Women’s Traditional, Youth, and Cubs. Cash prizes were awarded to the top shooters. 

A grilled hamburger/hot dog lunch was then hosted by the WCGBA staff for all those who participated or attended the event. 

The 3-D targets ranged in size from raccoons to the mighty tyrannosaurus rex, which is rare to see in the woods these days. 

After the competition, a long-range shot was attempted by most of the competitors. David Archuleta mastered this event by shooting the 3-D target in the bullseye at over 100 yards with one shot, making Robin Hood envious. 

This was the first event held after the merger of the Pagosa Bow Club with the Wolf Creek Gun and Bow Association.
