Vegreville and Zone 7 Archers Take Home Medals at Provincials

Vegreville Wildlife Federation Archers and Zone 7 athletes, were a force to be reckoned with at the Alberta Indoor Archery Provincials held in Red Deer April 5-7. Most of our local archers were the same athletes who competed at Alberta Winter Games 2024 under Coach Jamie Lowes, President of Vegreville Wildlife Federation (VWF). 

Archery is a technical sport where details matter, one small deviation can set the arrow off two inches, which means a difference of three to four points. There isn't much room for error. "We were competing against close to 125 archers from big clubs all over Alberta. I am very proud of all of our local athletes, their attention, focus and patience; not to mention the amount of training and commitment, helped to deliver amazing results, including a number of personal best scores," said Coach Jamie. 

“We had an awesome time, seeing new friends from the Alberta Winter Games. As well as trying to meet the goals we set for the competition it was a different experience then going to the games, since there were so many archers shooting at once,” said U15 barebow athlete James Lowes.

At Provincials our local athletes competed in the compound or barebow division.
