MDC staff will take participants on an exciting and educational experience in the world of archery. Women will get to discover nature by learning the fundamentals of archery through a two-part program. The first part will consist a classroom lesson, followed by a mentored shooting experience. All equipment will be provided. Women ages 18 or older (girls age 14 and up may accompany an adult participant), are invited to learn the basics of archery safety, shooting techniques, equipment, target shooting, hunting, and much more. There is no cost for this program. Discover Nature programs are designed to help Missourians explore nature and master outdoor skills together. Preregistration is required July 31, 2015: Online – http://goo.gl/forms/YpoYHnUL8t or by contacting Brian Flowers: [email protected] or 573-815-7901 ext 3388.
Discover Nature Women’s events occur throughout the year. Many are hunts that include in-depth clinics addressing the topics of wildlife biology, regulations, firearm training and safety, specific hunting-method training, as well as cleaning and care of the game. Find these events and more by visiting the MDC Website.

This was awesome! There were about 60 women attending the workshop. First was a 45-minute presentation, including shooting and safety instruction, and a guest visit by world champion, teenage archer Sydney Simmerman, from Hallsville, Missouri! Then the group moved to a 30-target practice range set up behind the building. After Sydney made some demo shots, everyone got their equipment and practiced for up to two hours. Mostly recurve bows were available (the type Sydney uses), with a few longbows and one crossbow to try. Hopefully the Missouri Department of Conservation will offer this again! Here’s a nice article about Sydney: http://www.columbiatribune.com/sports/local-archers-capture-world-championships/article_633d347a-cd40-11e2-a316-10604b9f1ff4.html
