by Vicki Heisser and Jessica Young |
The PWSC Valdez Archery Club is thrilled to announce the winner of the 10th Annual Vegas in Valdez Archery Top Ten Shootout. This year's $500.00 goes to Paul Rude of Glennallen, a top-performing competitor for many years at the ViVA event. Congratulations, Paul!
The PWSC Valdez Archery Club hosts one of the largest indoor archery tournaments in
Alaska, the Vegas in Valdez Archery (ViVA) event, which draws in competing archers
from around the state and often from the lower 48. After a three year break following COVID the club and the archery community are excited
to have this event back! The event is modeled after the World Archery Festival in
Las Vegas, also known as the Vegas Shoot. This event allows archers to showcase their
skills and compete with fellow enthusiasts in a fun and supportive environment and
provides an opportunity for local archers to participate or observe organized competition.
This event is a great success thanks to the club members and volunteers' hard work
and dedication.
