The best archery marksmen in all of Manitoba converged on Neepawa Sunday, July 9, for the annual 3D Outdoor Classic. The competition was held in association with the Yellowhead Bowhunters Club, the Archers and Bowhunters Association of Manitoba (ABAM) and Archery Canada. It involved a “3D” competition, consisting of life-sized animal targets placed across an outdoor area, in order to simulate bowhunting. The club’s terrain, which is located just east of Neepawa, provided the visual challenges and varying levels of difficulty for the shooters.
