Mike Thorne, president of the Richmond Rod and Gun Club, said the club's high level of success in archery at provincial, national and international stages has elevated the club's global recognition.
"We are not just showing up at these tournaments as a competitor, but we are showing up as the club to try and beat," said Thorne.
