Women's Archery Clinic Planned July 23 & 24

OROFINO - Women interested in learning the fundamentals of archery hunting and target shooting are invited to attend the Women's Archery Clinic, sponsored by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) and the National Wild Turkey Federation's Women in the Outdoors Program. The clinic will be held at Three Meadows Campground near Dworshak Reservoir from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 23, and 9:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, July 24. Cost is $40 for adult women and $20 for young women ages 12 to 17. Youth must be accompanied by attending parent or guardian. The fee includes cabin accommodations, use of archery equipment and a Saturday evening Dutch oven dinner. The clinic is intended to expose women and their daughters to archery hunting and shooting techniques, a variety of archery equipment, target shooting, survival skills, and tree stand safety. Participants will also learn to put together a pack of essentials and will practice their shooting skills at an 18-station target shoot. 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, the women are encouraged to plan for adverse weather and brushy, uneven terrain. For more information or to register, contact Theresa Luna, (208) 435-4464 by Monday, July 18. A confirmation letter and map will be mailed to all registrants.
