Free Archery, Shooting Event For Youth

A free youth shooting and archery skills event is scheduled for Aug. 29 at the Glasgow Trap Club.

The event – which will include clay pigeon, turkey silhouette and pellet-gun shooting stations, as well as an archery range with 3-D hunting targets – is open to all youths up to 18 years old. Due to safety concerns, youths 12 and under can participate in all of the events except ones involving shotgun shooting.

Shotguns, pellet guns, ammunition, targets and archery equipment will be provided at no cost, and participants between ages 12 and 18 can bring their own firearms and ammunition if they want.

Youth registration begins at 5 p.m., and the field activities will start at 5:30. A barbeque dinner is also scheduled, and a variety of prizes will be awarded to participants. The event ends at dark.
