The Outdoor Recreation School is set to host its Family & Friends Archery series at Cleary Lake Regional Park over two consecutive Saturdays, October 19 and 26, offering you a perfect opportunity to sharpen your archery skills. According to the event details, archery enthusiasts aged 7 and up are invited to gather their squads from 1 to 3 PM to indulge in the thrill of hitting bullseyes and mastering their aim with the guidance of seasoned instructors.
The archery session isn't just about learning how to notch an arrow and let it fly; it includes comprehensive safety instructions and an array of engaging activities that are designed to improve your technique – whether you're trying to shoot proficiently at various distances, or you're taking on the added challenge of using an atlatl, a tool our ancestors used for hunting long before the bow was ever strung. According to Scott County's announcement, all the equipment you'll need is provided on-site.
One of the other perks offered by this archery series is the chance to save a few bucks if you're bringing a party – there's a 20 percent discount available for groups of four or more which makes it a bit more appealing if you're planning a family outing or a get-together with friends, the cost of participation for the two-day event is $24 per person, and reservations are required. Interested parties are advised to call 763-559-6700 to secure their spots and those of their accompanying kin, especially since this program isn't a walk-in-and-shoot affair; you need to enroll ahead of the scheduled dates to be a part of this skill progression series.
It's important to note that while registration ensures your place at the range, all young archers aged 11 and under must be accompanied by an adult. For more details about the event and to make a reservation, visit their website.
