(BEDFORD) - More than 1,000 turn out for Triple Crown event in Lawrence Co. More than 1,000 archers participated in the the first leg of the Triple Crown National Championship Series, held by the International Bowhunters Organization.
Hundreds of people flocked to the Lawrence County 4-H Fairgrounds Friday, Saturday and Sunday for one of the biggest national shoots.
Bowhunters marched through the muddy, woody terrain in the 70-degree, humid weather, shooting at new, self-healing, animal-replica targets.
