It's quite a ways from the capital of the Yukon to this central Saskatchewan city. But for Sam White, distance is no problem.

And the 14-year-old proved it, coming in second in the Bantam limited archery competition with a 742 score.

The Grade 9 student has been participating in archery competitions across Canada for three years as a member of the Bowbenders Archery Club in Whitehorse.

An eagle eye in rifle shooting as well, White recently won first prize in a shooting competition in Hay River, NWT. Although he was asked to enter the rifle shooting at the 1993 Indigenous Games, he chose archery and did well.

Gary Ducharme from Alberta took the Bantam gold with 770, and Geordi Kilfoyl from Team Saskatchewan took bronze with 707.

Team Saskatchewan shot the most, winning 10 gold, four silver, and one bronze medal.
