Where Can I? Target Practice Virtual Program

The fall hunting seasons aren’t far away, which means now is the time to practice your archery or firearm skills so your hunting trips in the upcoming months will be successful.

People wanting to learn more about where to practice their shooting skills should sign up for the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) virtual program “Where Can I? Target Practice.” This free virtual program will be Aug. 14 from noon-12:30 p.m. The program is being put on by the staff of MDC’s Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center in Joplin. It is part of the Shoal Creek staff’s “Where Can I?” series of programs, which will be held the second Wednesday of each month. The Aug. 14 program is open to all ages. People can register at:
