The Nanaimo Fish and Game Annual Turkey Shoot proved to be a very successful fund raiser.
The Archery Division is very pleased with the participation and contribution to the cause through the 3D shoot. In light of the weather leading up to the event the turnout was nothing short of tremendous. At final count 96 registered shooters came out to brave the elements and support the cause. The work (by dedicated volunteers) on the trail in the days leading up to the shoot showed the care and consideration given to the task. The trail was cleared and twenty targets were placed to challenge the participants. The word from the shooters on the trail spoke volumes as to how well prepared and laid out the trail was.
The numbers and mix of the shooters is a testament to the strength and future of our sport. Over hearing conversations on the trail and seeing seasoned shooters sharing experience and providing guidance to the young and novice shooters speaks volumes s to how welcoming and open the archery community is.
As this is the last shoot of 2015 hosted by Nanaimo Fish and Game we would be remiss if we did not recognize the efforts and hard work so generously given by our volunteers. It is only with the sacrifice and efforts of these individuals that the Nanaimo Fish and Game Protective Association is able to bring events like this to you.
In closing The Nanaimo Fish and Game Archery Division would like to;
Wish Everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
