Women’s Archery Clinic Planned near Orofino
Posted on: June 11, 2007
Women interested in learning the fundamentals of archery hunting and target shooting are invited to attend a Women’s Archery Clinic July 21 and 22 at Freeman Creek Campground near Dworshak Reservoir.
“The clinic is intended to expose women and their daughters to archery hunting and shooting techniques in a non-competitive environment,” said Jill Green, an Idaho Department of Fish and Game hunter education instructor coordinating the event. “It will be a lot of fun, plus it’s a perfect opportunity for women to meet other like-minded women and learn new outdoor skills.”
Sponsored by Idaho Fish and Game and the National Wild Turkey Federation’s Women in the Outdoors Program, participants will learn the fundamentals of archery hunting and shooting skills, including safety, hunting techniques, proper clothing and equipment care. Women also will learn to put together a survival pack of essentials and will practice their shooting skills at an 18-station archery target shoot.
Cost is $40 for adult women and $20 for young women ages 12 to 17. Youths must be accompanied by attending parent or guardian. A confirmation letter and map will be mailed to all registrants.
The fee includes cabin accommodations, use of archery equipment and a Saturday evening Dutch oven dinner. Participants need to provide their own bedding, other meals for the event, and any camping equipment that they choose. Use of personal archery equipment is encouraged, but not required. Because the event will be held outdoors, participants are encouraged to plan for adverse weather and brushy, uneven terrain.
For more information or to register, contact Theresa Luna at 208-435-4464 or Jill Green at 208-798-0215 evenings.
