The California Department of Fish and Game will host a fall archery clinic for young people who want to learn an outdoor skill and enjoy spending time outdoors.
“Shooting Pumpkins: Youth Archery Clinic” is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 27, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the El Dorado Hills Bowmen Archery Club.
The class will include instruction in basic archery form, safety and equipment choices, as well as hands-on shooting practice on a professional archery range. There will be plenty of bulls-eye targets to shoot at and in keeping with the harvest spirit, pumpkin targets will also be used.
“Archery is a sport that inherently motivates young people,” said Lesa Johnston, DFG National Archery in the Schools Program coordinator. “Any child can do this. They only need an opportunity to explore the skill.”
The range is located at 3321 El Dorado Hills Blvd. in El Dorado Hills, just off of Highway 50. The $15 clinic fee includes brunch, snacks, equipment, range use and instruction. Youth must be at least 8 years old and accompanied by a parent or guardian. Parents/guardians are included in the brunch at no additional cost Class size is limited to 45 and pre-registration is required. Participants may register online at dfg.ca.gov/yo.
The event is co-sponsored by the California Bowmen Hunters/ State Archery Association.
