Archery — At the archery station, attendees will shoot NASP Genesis bows at 10 and 15 yards.

NASP Basic Archery Instructors will be running the range and will be available to assist with any questions about archery.
Shotgun - At the shotgun shooting station, attendees will have a chance to take aim at flying clay targets. 20 gauge shotguns will be available for use based off comfort level for attendees. 20 gauges have less recoil than 12 gauge shotguns.

NRA Basic Rifle instruction will be available; attendees shooting .22 will fire at 50 feet to replicate NRA Sporter smallbore competition, while .243 rifles will be fired at distances up to 100 feet.
