The S.C. Dept. of Natural Resources and the S.C. 4-H program conducted a shooting sports field day on Saturday February 9 at the SCDNR Palachucola Firing Range near Garnett. The event was a great way to introduce novice shooters, both youth and adult, to shooting sports, firearm safety and hunting. After registering, each person attended a short firearms safety briefing and then was free to move on to the different activities. The activity stations included: skeet shooting with shotguns, archery, .22 rifle target shooting, a pellet gun range and a virtual hunting simulator. Each station offered a different experience and included one on one instruction and supervision from SCDNR staff and Certified 4-H Shooting Instructors. The day was considered to be a great success with a total of 116 participants, 63 of which were youth. This annual event is open to the public and has had participants from Georgia as well as S.C.
