Shooting sports club
The Aroostook County 4-H program is offering an informational meeting to introduce a new 4-H Youth Shooting Sports Club.
The club is open to all County youth, with monthly meetings being held in Caribou at the recreation center.
The club will begin with archery and advance to firearm safety, according to Linda Trickey of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension program.
A schedule has not been developed since it will depend on how many youth show up to the meeting and what their interests are.
Youth ages 12-18 and their parents are invited to attend the first meeting at the Caribou Parks and Recreation Department Wellness Center on 55 Bennett Drive on Thursday, Feb. 14 at 6:30 p.m. to learn more.
Contact Trickey at by phone at 1-800-287-1469 or by e-mail linda.trickey@maine.edu for more information.
