On June 13, the Quail & Upland Wildlife Federation’s Chapter 16 will host their Father, Son, Daughter Family Shoot at the Fredericksburg Rod and Gun Club in Fredericksburg.
The event, which has been a fundraiser for the organization for more than 5 years, will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“We do it every year to help the youth out. The whole idea was community outreach, for adults and youth. Our organization is a sportmen’s organization not only for habitat restoration work, but it’s also for getting people out into the shooting sports, and giving them the opportunity to be able to do that kind of stuff. There’s nobody else in the area that really does stuff like this,” said Jerry Saggers, an organizer for the Federation.
There will be skeet and trap shooting for adults and youth, as well as an opportunity for Boy Scouts to earn their .22 Rifle Merit shooting badge.
According to Saggers, the Federation wanted to give the Boy Scouts the opportunity during the fundraiser, to help the scouts earn their badge.
“I saw an opportunity, several years ago…in our area, and with the Boy Scouts, that a Scout will start the [shooting] merit badge, and never have the opportunity to finish,” said Saggers.
Additionally, certified instructors will be present, giving participants information about hatchets, shooting and traumatic injury care, stated Saggers.
It is $65 for individuals to participate, and includes a round of skeet and trap shooting, shells, lunch and drinks. It is $15 for Boy Scouts to shoot for their merit badge, and includes lunch and drinks.
