Second stop on our 2024 tour brings us to a brand-new location: Kamloops BC. Home of the 2023 Provincial Championships, Kamloops is truly a world class 3D archery venue. Open sage brush flats, and steep sided canyons make judging difficult, and the persistent winds are almost always a factor. Whether it is Flamingos on a dried-up lakebed, bedded sheep in the rocky cliffs or criss crossing up a dried-out gully for turkeys, deer and sasquatches, Kamloops is sure to be a highlight of your archery season.
