The Kindersley Wildlife Federation welcomed families to its Family Range Day on Saturday at the Kindersley Gun Range.
Visitors were invited to try out a variety of shooting ranges free of charge, including archery, trap shooting, rifle, and pistol stations. All equipment, including firearms, bows, and ammunition, was provided by the federation, and participants were supervised by licensed individuals, meaning no personal firearms licenses were required.
Federation president Richard Bluett oversaw the archery range, where participants could test both traditional and compound bows on foam animal targets. Dan Kachmarski ran the trap shooting station, where you target clay disks launched skyward by a voice-activated system.
The pistol range was managed by Tim Kachmarski, and Ray Varty supervised the rifle range.
A barbecue lunch was also available. Tom Hawes worked the grill while Lori Kachmarski ran the tuck shop. For $5, guests could purchase a meal that included a burger or hotdog, chips, and a drink.
The event aimed to offer a safe, educational, and hands-on introduction to recreational shooting for all ages.
