One hundred and forty-four archers lined up throughout the weekend from December 12 to 14, 2025 for the shooting competition organized by the Plouédern Archers club, in the pétanque alleys of the Steredenn complex, i.e. double the number of participants compared to last year. “The competition concerns shooters from the junior category (U13) to veterans (seniors 3) and attracted archers mainly from northern Finistère, notably from the clubs of Landéda, Guipavas, Plourin-lès-Morlaix, Brest, Saint-Pol-de-Léon and Landivisiau, as well as, of course, members of Plouédern. We made two departures on Friday, four on Saturday and two on Sunday. The competition ended on Sunday at 4 p.m.,” comments Louis Salaün, president of the club.
