Beginning Archery

Archery is an activity that can help build confidence, coordination, and concentration. It’s a rewarding pursuit all by itself, or a skill that a person can leverage for hunting deer or turkey later.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is holding a beginning Archery class Saturday, Oct. 4 from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Rockwoods Reservation in Wildwood. The program is free and open to ages 15 and up.

Learn the basics of shooting the bow and arrow by using some of the techniques and methods that have been adopted by the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP). This course is for those with the desire to shoot a bow and arrow but have little or no experience. All equipment will be provided by MDC.

The program is not recommended for those with shoulder or back injuries. The class will be cancelled in the event of inclement weather.

This beginning archery class is a free program, but advanced online registration is required at http://short.mdc.mo.gov/4vr.

Rockwoods Reservation is located at 2751 Glencoe Road, off Highway 109 between I-44 and Highway 100.
