Free NRA Youth Shooting Event (11/7) Just for youth -- a safe, fun shooting experience without cost to participants is planned for November 7. The NRA Youth Sportsfest Camp is open to all girls and boys, ages from 8 to 18. The NOAAWIVA Sportsmen Club on Chincoteague Road near Oak Hall will host the daylong event. Free drinks and food will be provided. The camp offers unique, learning opportunities for Eastern Shore youth to learn about the importance of firearm safety and to participate in a wide variety of shooting sports. The camp begins at 9:00 AM with registration followed by firearm safety orientation, shooting activity instruction and participation (depending on age/ability) in the fastest growing sports in the nation. The activities offered include clay shooting with 20 gauge shotguns, .22 rifle target and reactive shooting, air gun target shooting and junior service rifle competition. Attending youth will have an opportunity to shoot paper scoring targets and reactive targets such as spinners and clay targets. Prizes and awards will be given. The camp activities will end about 3:00 PM. The NOAAWIVA Sportsmen Club is hosting the camp as a community service. The club will provide lunch, hearing and eye protection, firearms to be used and ammunition without cost. This will be the first annual youth shooting event hosted by the club. All activities will be supervised by NRA certified instructors, range safety officers, and experienced club members.
