Archery in the Park

The sport of shooting arrows has been around for thousands of years.  First humans used archery as a way to hunt animals and later as a way to compete against each other.  Archery is an activity that people from all walks of life and almost every size and ability can participate and have fun.  This program covers the basics of archery (safety, proper care of the equipment and how to use a bow).  Participants will be able to practice their new skills on a number of different targets including a white-tail deer and wild turkey.  Please meet at staff housing area right before the contact station when you enter the park.
