Youth Archery Day

Every summer the Scenic Hills Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation holds its Jakes and Jennys Youth Archery Day. Jakes and Jennys is the designation given to young wild turkeys and to the youth organization that caters to kids under 17 years of age who want to become members of the Turkey Federation.

This group of hunters and outdoorsmen take it upon themselves each year to hold this fun day for the kids in the area to give them a chance to do some bow shooting and trap shooting. They get instructions on many outdoor activities and are treated to a meal and drawings for some great door prizes.

The event is held at Gander Hill Country Archery which is west of Richland Center on Hwy 14. If you have a son or daughter who is under 17 and interested in learning about bow hunting or shooting call Dave Guy at 608-647-6908 or Jerry Gander at 608-536-3502.
