For youth ages 9 – 19!  The flyer contains meeting dates, times and discipline descriptions.  The cost of the program is $5.00 for dues and eye protection. (For health reasons, each participant will be assigned safety glasses.)

If you’ll be attending with your child, why not have something to do while you wait! We’re in need of archery, muzzleloader, living history, rifle, and pistol instructors and a coordinator for roster management. Assistance with any of the other disciplines would be welcomed too. Your consideration would be greatly appreciated!

If you have any questions, please call Erica Baker at 740-818-8184 or myself at 740-525-4980 or 740-473-1373. We look forward to seeing you soon.
