INTRODUCTION TO ARCHERY

The Nevada Department of Wildlife will hold an introductory to archery class Tuesday, April 19 at the Clark County Shooting Park Education Center.

This hands-on class is designed for students 10 years of age or older who have little knowledge about archery. The class will begin at 9 a.m. and end at noon.

Participants will learn about the basic parts and function of a modern bow, identify their dominant eye, and work on their basic shooting technique. Above all they will learn range safety and etiquette. The class will include a classroom component followed by time on the shooting range located just outside the Education Center.

The Clark county Shooting Park is located at 11357 N. Decatur Blvd. Space is limited so registration is required. Registration will begin at 8 a.m. Monday, April 4.
Registration is currently underway for an evening introduction to archery course to be held at the same location at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 5. For more information or to register for either of these classes contact Chris Cheff at (702) 486-5127 x3504.
