2nd Day - Youth Shooting
Sports Event (Apr 28, 1999)
sponsored by the Texas of Parks & Wildlife Department 9:05am: The Texas high school students arrived, right on time, from Aquilla, Abbott and Oglesby high schools. Right now the area manager at the Aquilla Wildlife Management area, Jose Cano, is outlining the days events. Today's program will be the same as the one yesterday: Mike Krueger, Technical Guidance Biologist, will talk and show slides about wildlife management, the life history of white-tailed deer and an explanation of where the revenue to manage the state's wildlife resource's comes from. (The number one source is from hunters and hunting license sales.) Hunter Education Instructor Charlie Wilson, who mans the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Sporting Clays demo, will make sure they all knew how to safely handle the equipment (22 rifle, shotgun, and bow & arrow) they are about to use. As done yesterday, the group will be divided into 5 groups. Each of these groups go to an initial station; archery, sporting clays, .22 rifle silhouettes, 22 rifle swinging targets, or muzzleloader. At each station they will receive an orientation, instruction, and then each kid will shoot numerous times for 45 minutes, rotate to the next station. This years Shooting Sports Event For Youth program is sponsored by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. |
