FCL July Introduction to Archery Class
Introduction to Archery
On Saturday, July 15, 2017 the Fitchville Conservation League and its volunteer instructors offered an Introduction to Archery Class for the area communities. Over 35 students participated in the safety class and the live archery session. FCL Vice President Gary Bradt, the lead instructor for the event started with a short demonstration of proper archery form. The students were then divided into 5 groups and five stations were established each with its own instructor and the fun was on. This free class was funded by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Fitchville Conservation League.

Fitchville Conservation League volunteer instructors hosted the Scouts from Elyria and Norwalk and their parents and leaders for a morning of Archery, Trap Shooting, Rifle and Pistol shooting.

Then the group went to one of the four stations, Trap shooting with a shot gun (20 or 12 guage), rifle shooting at steel targets with a 22 cl, pistol shooting at steel targets, and archery at 3D targets (A bear and a deer.) Each station had a FCL Member volunteer instructor to monitor the activities. Everyone had an opportunity to participate in each of the activities.

Introduction to Archery Class is a big success!
Thirty Three (33) youth and parents come to the Fitchville Conservation League on Saturday the 25th of July for the Introduction to Archery class. A 30 minute safety lecture was held to begin the day. Then all 33 went the range for several hours of archery shooting. The class consisted of 6 different 3-D targets with 6 instructors one at each target.
It was amazing to see the accuracy and improvement to each youth’s shooting ability during the class. The parents participated in the archery shoot.
Many youths brought their own bows and after safety inspection were allowed to use them. Questions were answered by the volunteer instructors which ranged from a place to hunt, where to buy a bow, how and who to get work on a bow, and which way they should shoot right or left handed.
A big thanks to the 9 volunteers who came out and helped with the Introduction to Archery Class Tom Hall of Greenwich, an expert archer came and assisted with the program as well, A big thanks to him!!
The new DNR Wildlife Officer Nathan Kauffman came and observed the archery program as well as took time looking around the club, mingle with our parents and youths, and meeting with members.
A great day was had by all.
