Rangely, Colo. – Colorado Parks and Wildlife is excited to announce that it will hold its Second Annual Blast & Twang event on Sat. July 30, 9am - 1 p.m. in Rangely. The event will take place at the Elks Trap Range in Rangely, Colorado. This free event is for families and individuals interested in learning outdoor skills including shotgun shooting, archery, and .22 shooting. Lunch will be provided.
“A fun morning filled with awesome opportunities to learn these shooting sports or hone your skills,” said CPW Education and Hunter Outreach Coordinator Kathleen Mawhinney.
No previous experience or equipment is needed. CPW staff and volunteers will be at the event to help those new to using a shotgun, rifle, or bow learn outdoor shooting skills.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own chairs but there will be equipment available to use as well.
Thank you to our partners Rangely Elks club, the Rangely Rec District, Rangely trash service, and RMEF.
