Outdoorsmen to have annual Youth Day

VW County Outdoorsmen information

The Van Wert County Outdoorsmen’s annual Youth Day is scheduled for Saturday, September 13, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the club, located on Ringwald Road, just south of Huggy Bear Campground.

Events are free to all youths ages 17 and under and include archery, air rifles, .22-caliber rifles and trap shooting.

Qualified club members supervise all events, while National Rifle Association-certified instructors also offer training.  An adult must accompany all youngsters, and lunch is provided to all participants.

This event is free of charge and is funded by club activities and fundraisers, event sponsorships and a grant from the Friends of the NRA.

“The club was established over 50 years ago to promote firearm safety and the education of future generations of hunters and sportsmen alike,” said club President Charles Davis. “While our Youth Day is designed as a fun day, safety is emphasized every step along the way.”
