WINONA, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will host a free women’s Archery and Crossbow Workshop Saturday, July 20, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at Twin Pines Conservation Education Center (CEC) near Winona. MDC Outdoor Skills Specialist Travis Mills said space is limited, so registration is required at www.mdc.mo.gov/ozarkevents.
The women-only program is for ages 16 and up. The information will focus on bow and crossbow terminology, shooting techniques, safety and maintenance, before attendees spend time on the archery range gaining experience at bullseye and three-dimensional targets.
“Archery is an activity that anyone can enjoy,” Mills said. “This workshop will provide a comfortable environment to learn about archery and build skills that will lead to years of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.”
Mills said attendees should dress appropriately for an outdoor experience, including close-toed shoes. All equipment will be provided.
