Hoosiers interested in preserving Indiana’s bowhunting heritage can attend an Explore Bowhunting workshop July 19 at Pine Knob Park in LaGrange County.

The target audience is adults who work with children, ages 11-17. This includes school teachers, after-school teachers, outdoor educators, parks and recreation program leaders, scout leaders and camp counselors.

Explore Bowhunting workshops are designed not only to help adults teach bowhunting skills but also to instill a respect for and comfort with the outdoors to preteens and teenagers. It is offered through the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife’s Hoosier Outdoor Heritage Program.

Participants need no prior experience with bowhunting.

Explore Bowhunting is free to participants thanks to funding through a partnership between the Archery Trade Association and DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife.
