GRAY — Certified firearm and archery safety instructors for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and University of Maine 4-H Camp and Learning Center in Bryant Pond will be on hand Saturday, May 13, for hands-on introduction to archery and laser shooting at the Maine Wildlife Park, Route 26.
Archery instruction will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for kids ages 9 and up, who can try their hand at archery, shoot a bow and learn basic safety and shooting skills with 4-H instructors. From 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., kids 6 and up will have a chance to learn basic gun handling and shooting skills with laser rifles.
Archery has had a long history in recreational sports; and participants range from grade-school age children to senior citizens. Archery is an extremely safe sport, easily learned, a great hobby, and becoming increasingly popular in Maine, organizers said in a news release. It’s a fast-growing sport and is a new way to approach both traditional target shooting and hunting opportunities.
