Climbing this Thursday, Shooting next weekend

Outdoor Adventurers, I hope you aren't too disappointed about the hike being postponed! The following awesome events should make up for that.

Thursday, March 5 - Rock Climbing at Petra

That's right, we just can't get enough! All the details of this event are the same as from the previous excursion. I will post them here again anyway!

What: Rock climbing
When: 6 PM, Thursday, March 5
Why: Because it's fun! It provides a great workout too for those seldom-used lower arm muscles.
Where: Meet in the FSC circle (by the fountains) at 6 PM to carpool. If you know where Petra is, feel free to go and meet us there. However, if you show up after 6:30 PM, the club will NOT pay for you.
Who: Anyone can come, as long as we have enough drivers (please offer to carpool if you have a vehicle). Simply show up! Sign-ups are not required.
Cost: FREE before 6:30 PM. If you plan to ride with someone, please offer gas money!

If you can't make it to this event, try coming out next weekend to engage in the ultimate stress relief: blowing holes in things!


Saturday, March 14 -
Archery and Handguns at the Andy Dalton Shooting Range


Come on out to the range and shoot things up with us! Don't worry, safety comes first at this event, and NO previous experience with guns or bows is required. This is also not a hunting trip; we're not out to kill anything or anyone. The event will be proceeded by a safety seminar, at which we will learn basic gun handling techniques and how not to shoot our eyes out.


Here are the details of this awesome excursion.

What: Archery and handgun sthooting
When: Saturday, March 14, 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Why: Because it is educational, it improves accuracy and concentration, it helps people like me overcome their fears, it's a fun challenge, it relieves stress, and it's immensely satisfying to hit that bullseye!


Where: Meet in the FSC circle (by the fountains) at 8:30 AM to carpool. A breakfast of Panera bagels, coffee, and orange juice WILL be provided at the range.
Who: All Drury students, faculty, and staff are welcome to attend. We MAY require sign-ups for this event depending on how much interest we generate. I will let you know what we decide.
Cost: FREE


The Game Plan: We will arrive at the range and eat a delicious bagel breakfast while the instructors teach us how to handle firearms safely. Again, NO previous experience is required; these guys and gals will teach you everything you need to know. We will then head out to the firing ranges and shoot to our heart's content.


All guns, bows, ammunition, and safety gear will be provided by the range. Just remember to dress warmly and comfortably. We shoot at bullseye targets only; no animals will be harmed.

Web site of the Dalton Range!



This is going to be one awesome trip. I hope to see you there! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
Amy
