Give Cheyenne Mountain State Park’s new archery range at the free archery class. Cheyenne Mountain State Park is offering beginners a chance to take aim on June 18. The class is for those ages five and up and runs from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Equipment will be provided by the instructors. Students will learn the fundamentals of range safety and how to shoot a bow and arrow. Instructors will be on hand until 11:30 a.m. to assist students who want to stay and practice their new skills. “We have a really great facility here at the park but we realize not everyone has the equipment necessary to take advantage of it,” said Park Manager Mitch Martin. “This gives people a chance, especially beginners, to figure out if it’s a hobby they may enjoy.” Class size is limited to 12 students. Call the park at 719-576-2016 to sign up. Be sure to bring sunscreen and water. The class is free but a $7 daily state park pass or annual park pass is required on each vehicle entering the archery range or park.
