The 100 Mile Bighorn Archery Club free introductory session at the Stan Halcro Arena on Nov. 22 was a resounding success, with close to 70 people dropping in throughout the evening to try the sport.
The club had 10 stations set up with archery equipment and members offered instruction in shooting to people of all ages.
Colton Lang of 105 Mile received some instruction from club member Allen Riley. While it wasn't his first time shooting a bow, Lang says he picked up a few good tips.
Club secretary denise swift says they were expecting about 30 people to show up and was bowled over by the great response.
"I hope everyone who came had a chance to try it out. We were so busy and everyone was just trying their best to get the people through. It was great."
For those who couldn't make it to the intro night, the club welcomes people to drop in at their regular practice on Tuesday nights from 7 to 9 p.m.
With an apparent new interest in membership, swift is asking for donations of archery equipment for the club.
