The Nevada Department of Wildlife will conduct an introductory course in the sport of bowfishing Saturday, April 16 at Veterans Memorial Park pond in Boulder City. Class will begin at 9 .m. and end at noon. The park is located at 1650 Buchanan Blvd.

This class is designed for individuals 10 years of age or older who have some previous archery experience. That experience need not be extensive. Instruction will begin with a 45-minute instruction period followed by target practice on submerged carp targets. Equipment is provided and there is no charge for the workshop.
