RBC | Colorado Parks and Wildlife is excited to announce that it will hold its annual Family Cast, Blast and Twang event on Saturday, June 10, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Nine Mile Guest Ranch near Meeker, Colorado. This free event is for families and individuals interested in learning outdoor skills, including shotgun and .22 shooting, archery, fly fish casting and spin fishing. Lunch will be provided.
“This is a great chance for folks to try out new outdoor activities and get some hands-on instruction,” said CPW Education and Hunter Outreach Coordinator Kathleen Mawhinney.
No previous experience or equipment is needed. CPW staff and volunteers will be at the event to help those new to using a shotgun learn outdoor shooting skills. Make sure to join us for lunch for a chance to win one of several great prizes.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own chairs, fishing and archery equipment, but there will be equipment available to use as well. Do not bring any firearms as they will be provided. Participants 16 and older need to have a current fishing license to participate in the fishing events.
Thank you to our partners who will be providing the meal, ice cream, and support; RTS Hunting LLC/Visintainer, Nine Mile Guest Ranch, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, BHO Gunshop, Mule deer foundation and JML Outfitters.
