Shooting sports clinic
The Division of Wildlife will hold a youth shooting sports clinic Saturday in Teller County from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Youngsters interested in archery and shotgun shooting are invited to attend this one-day free event.
Activities include a shotgun target fun shoot, a 3-D archery shoot, and instruction for both. The DOW also will provide an electronic “laser-gun” hunting simulation that teaches youngsters about shot placement by generating actual hunting scenarios on a big screen.
Boys and girls ages 7-16 are invited to attend, but must be accompanied by a parent.
Instructors from the DOW and local archery experts will help youngsters learn the finer points of shooting shotguns and bows. The DOW will furnish the equipment.
For directions and more information, call Steve Lucero at 719-227-5203 or 303-227-5219.
