The Gym was just one of the areas filled during the Milford Bible Church Sportsman Dinner. The display in the back was just one of many areas hosting scenes and displays during the event.
First Annual Youth Event A Success Pre-hunt age youth learned about the history of hunting and the importance of healthy deer densities in quality habitat during our first annual Branch youth sporting event held Saturday, Aug. 20.
The day began with Branch President Peter Pinchot explaining that the goals of QDMA are restoring the forest and healthier deer. He also said the hunting population is decreasing but is "an important tradition for the health of the land." Scott Savini, youth event committee co-chair with Teresa Crerand, explained that the participants of pre-hunting age and their parent would have an opportunity to try archery, muzzleloader, rifle and trap shooting at each station throughout the day. Leonard Boyer (below), a living historian and member of the Navasing Long Rifles based in Jefferson, N.Y., gave a presentation about a colonial woodsman prior to the Revolution. He held up his 1640 long gun, saying it was like the guns the French brought over. From his leather possibles bag, he pulled out handmade tools needed to shoot the gun. He then demonstrated the proper way to load and handle a flintlock. (Continued.) Click Here to view the Youth Event from our Newsletter
