The Department of Natural Resources’ Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) program will present two archery workshops and a handgun shooting workshop, all for beginners, in Lansing this September.
Introduction to Archery will take placeTuesday, Sept. 11, from 5 to 8 p.m.
This workshop will cover safety, dominant eye, proper shooting form/technique, various archery equipment, maintenance and selection. The course will also provide hands-on practice shooting a bow with assistance by instructors. All equipment will be provided, and no skill level is required. Girls age 10 and older are welcome to attend, but must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Introduction to Handgun Shooting, on Wednesday, Sept. 12, from 6 to 8 p.m., will also be held at the Demmer Shooting Center.
The class will begin with firearm safety instruction and will cover the fundamentals of pistol shooting. Participants will then head to the indoor range, where they will shoot .22 handguns with one-on-one, certified instructor supervision. This is not the class required by law to obtain a concealed pistol license (CPL), but is a great prerequisite course for those considering obtaining a CPL.
Cost is $30 per person. Due to the popularity of this class, it is highly recommended that those interested in attending use e-store for payment. All registrations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis only.
