Shooting Workshop
Sunday, April 18, 2010
Target shooting is a challenging skill sport that, like any eye-hand coordination sport, is a lot of fun. AFW’s Shooting Workshop uses the facilities and the experienced instructors of the Easton Fish and Game Association. Safety rules and general orientation are followed by one-on-one instruction as you actively use rifles and handguns. This workshop accommodates those who have no knowledge of guns as well as those with advanced skill. Experienced shooters enjoy getting in a lot of practice in a short amount of time. New shooters appreciate the one-on-one attention of the patient instructors. All equipment is provided
FEE: $50 (members $35). Receipt of payment completes your registration.

Gear Workshop
Saturday, April 24, 2010
Now is the time to get ready for a new season of hiking. Do you want to have a great experience on the trail? It’s important to wear the right type of clothing and shoes. It’s also important to carry certain essentials in a pack that fits you well. None of this has to break the bank. Buy the right “gear” and it will last a long time.
This workshop is a place for you to share what works (or doesn’t work) for you. Bring the equipment you use or no longer use. Do you use water bottles or hydration system? What are your favorite layers of clothing? How about those socks? What do you carry on a day hike – first aid, snacks, emergency items? This workshop is for day hikers and backpackers. Maybe some “day hikers” will be enticed to try an overnight. Backpackers should bring a pack loaded with essentials for one overnight.
If you’re new to hiking and backpacking, bring yourself and check out what other people have – before you buy anything for yourself.

Intro to Rowing Crew Workshop
Saturday, June, 5, 2010
This session was developed to give people a glimpse into the sport of rowing in a "crew boat". Crew is
composed of two types of rowing "sweep and scull." Sweep is done with one oar and sculling uses two. After a
review of rowing strokes, terms and boat handling, the group will try their skills on the water. The session
will be taught by experienced coaches with some advanced rowers on hand to make the experience fun. A light
snack will be provided by PRRA between instructions and water time. Wear comfortable clothes and bring water
to drink.
ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST KNOW HOW TO SWIM
FEE: $25 (Members $20). Receipt of payment completes your registration.
Registration limited to 12 participants.
