This weekend, the French 3D archery championship took place at a place called “Escudès”, in Saint-Sardos.
The Les Archers de Labreille club, archery section of the MJC of Verdun-sur-Garonne, organized the event with the participation of 56 archers on Saturday and 110 on Sunday, including 6 young people of around ten ‘years. For this championship, two courses were proposed, one permanent classified nature, very hilly, a former motocross field transformed into an archery course since 2003, the other mounted only for the occasion. Each course had 24 3D targets of varying sizes. Points are awarded according to the objective achieved and according to the size of the target (raccoon, octopus, wild boar, fox, bear, etc.). Archers compete in groups of four, in order to maintain a smooth flow through the courses. The club organizes two 3D competitions per year.
The French team in training in September
There are 90 members, and among them, there are champions, notably David Jackson, several times world champion, and Alicia Baumert, European champion in mixed team and individual (2023).
At the beginning of September, the club will host the French team for training in preparation for the world championship which will take place in Slovenia. This is the second consecutive year that the French Archery Federation has selected the Saint-Sardos site. This very dynamic club is also a real breeding ground for future champions!
