Youth Archery Day In Pueblo: May 13
Youngsters interested in the sport of archery are
invited to attend a one-day archery event at the Bighorn Archery Range in
Pueblo from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 13. The Colorado Division of
Wildlife (DOW) and Johnson Sport and Ski will co-sponsor the event.
Activities include target practice, a fun shoot, a 3-D shoot and
instruction. Boys and girls age 7–16 are invited to attend, but must be
accompanied by a parent.
Instructors from the CDOW and local archery experts will help youngsters
learn the finer points of shooting a bow. The DOW will furnish the
equipment.
"This event is a great opportunity for youngsters to learn more about this
rapidly growing type of outdoor recreation, and try their hand at using a
bow," said Steve Lucero, an education coordinator with the CDOW. "Archery
is one of the world's oldest sports. It is safe and fun when done properly."
The Bighorn Archery Range is located just east of the DOW office at 600
Reservoir Road. The range features 10 shooting stations with covered
platforms.
For more information, call (719) 542-6012.
