Families head out to Range Day
By Joan Janzen
KINDERSLEY - It was Family Range Day at the Kindersley Gun Range on Saturday, May 10th. Families could try out trap shooting, rifle shooting and pistol shooting and archery under close supervision. All materials were provided free of charge, as well as expert instruction from personnel in attendance. It was an opportunity for kids and adults without firearm certification to give these activities a try.
“It’s all about generating interest,” Richard Bluett said. He was helping out those trying their hand at archery. Richard said there is a healthy hunting community in this area and they are planning to put the word out to begin an archery club which would run Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons for anyone 14 and older. If there is enough interest, they would take the next step and partner with the Saskatchewan Archery Association.
As lunch time rolled around, burgers and hotdogs were available for a minimal charge for anyone who was hungry.
The Kindersley Gun Range was a busy place on Saturday, May 10th as families came out to try their hand at trap, rifle and pistol shooting and archery, all offered free of charge.
