Northern Colorado Chapter sponsors a "Youth Outdoor Activity Day". See below for previous Youth Outdoor Activity Day pictures and videos.

The day begins with  archery, 22 rifle shooting, shotgun shooting at clay targets and a pheasant hunt.

While PF volunteers plant pheasants, each Youth and his or her parent is paired off with a PF Mentor with a trained pointing dog. These are successful and most participants leave with big grins and a few birds for their first experience.

17 Youth Outdoor Activity Days held every March and October since 10/2003 were all a great success!
The 17th activity day held on 10/8/2011 was the coldest and wettest (rain, sleet, snow and hail, mixed with wind) day on record so far and we hope that this record is never broken.

Thanks to all the youth, parents and volunteers that were able to participate. Special thanks to the Youth Outdoor Activity Day organizers, DOW and Great Guns Sporting (map).
