Texas Hunting Forum: American Deer & Wildlife Alliance Announces Youth Bow Clinic

AUSTIN, Texas – Kids ages six to 15 are invited to attend the Austin Bow Hunting & Archery Clinic sponsored by the American Deer & Wildlife Alliance (ADWA) and the Texas Deer Association. The event will be held on Saturday, August 9, 2008 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at Archery Country, Austin’s oldest archery store. All equipment will be provided.

“We are so excited to host this event for kids, as it ties into our mission to promote safe hunting, education, and getting kids outdoors,” say Annie Jones, director of operations for ADWA. “The Texas Deer Association is our co-sponsor for the event. One of the primary goals of the TDA is to increase hunting opportunities in the state and helping to expose kids to the archery and bow hunting is a big step in that process. We really appreciate their support.”

In addition to learning to shot the bow, the event will feature raffles and gifts such as The Game Gurney by Hunting’s-a-Drag, a great item for this upcoming bow hunting season. The Game Gurney helps hunters move their trophy and handles large game up to 440 pounds, it also reduces resistance a minimum of 50 percent or greater depending on conditions.

Another featured raffle item will be special Rite in the Rain kits that include a bow hunting journal, a Cordura pouch and a pen. These unique journals are made from all-weather writing paper that shed water in any weather condition and they ensure a hunter’s journal survives the elements.
