A regulation archer course was set up in the old gravel pit one mile north of Carrington by Jim Smith and Jerry, Dwayne and Donald Miller in 1959. Complying with regulation of the National Field Archers Association, they have built a 14-target course with their own time and funds. The course was open for use by the public free of charge.

Targets range from 80 yards away to shorter distances. Each has a bull's eye or a picture of an animal backed up by flax bales furnished by Bill Trecker. Plans were made for an archery club. Instructions were also given to anyone who was interested.
