The Macomb County chapter of Pheasants Forever will hold a “Youth Shotgun Skills & Safety Clinic” on June 11, 2011 at River Bends County Park Trap Range from 9:00 am to noon. The Clinic will focus on safe gun handling as well as actual one-on-one shooting instruction using thrown clay targets.
The Clinic is open to both boys and girls, ages 10-18. Included will be instruction on safe handling and operation of shotguns. After a thorough “Gun Safety & Operation Lesson” youths will be instructed one-on-one on the proper form, aiming, and firing of a shotgun at a thrown clay target. It’s anticipated that each youth will shoot at approximately 25 clay targets.
Participants should bring a shotgun of their choosing. Preferably in either 20 gauge or 12 gauge. For those without a shotgun, a limited number of 20 gauge guns will be available for use. Participants are welcome to bring their own light target shells, however, 12 gauge and 20 gauge target shells will be provided.
This clinic is an ideal way for youths to get hands-on experience in safe shotgun handling and shooting. Very often parents or guardians don’t have the equipment or other means to offer this type of instruction, and Pheasants Forever is pleased to bring this educational forum to the community.
The cost of the clinic is $20.00 per shooter. This fee covers the cost of range fees, shells, clay targets, hearing & eye protection, gift hat, and instruction. A parent or guardian must remain present for the duration of the clinic. To register mail in completed form along with check or money order made out to Pheasants Forever.
