December 2, 2006

The Wind River Archers held their 3rd Annual Christmas Benefit 3-D Shoot on Saturday, December 2, at the Archery Range located upstairs in the Sublette County Ice Arena in Pinedale. Cost of the all day "Fun Shoot" was one unwrapped toy. All toys collected will be donated to the Pinedale Volunteer Fireman’’ Toys for Tots toy drive. Cash donations were also be accepted and turned over to the toy drive.

The 3-D shoot was open to members and non members, beginners and experts. The archery shoot timed with an ice hockey tournament at the ice rink. Many of the players from visiting teams from Jackson, Rock Springs and Riverton came upstairs during breaks between games to shoot. Some of the kids had their parents take them into town to buy a gift to donate towards the Toys for Tots program.

    Red Light-No Shooting
    When the red light is turned on, there is no shooting allowed on the range, to allow archers to safely go down range to get their arrows from the targets. Archers are not permitted to even put arrows in bows until the range is clear and the green light is turned back on.
