 Striving to improve everything from hunting and fishing to promoting wildlife conservation issues is the aim of the Lakeshore Conservation Club in Niswa. For this week's Northwoods Adventure, our Taylor Archer went to their range and discovered that after 100 years these efforts are still going strong. The sound of gunfire echoes over at the Lakeshore Conservation Club in Niswa, but that doesn't alarm the young members of this 4-H Club. This is where youth can learn safe shooting, responsibility, and a myriad of outdoor skills that have never been more talked about than today. They're not just learning shooting sports out of a book or a pamphlet or going to a class. They're here doing archery. They're here doing black powder, getting from the cleaning to the putting those firearms together. It is really fun and I get to shoot archery and you get to learn about wildlife. It is never too early to learn, although safety is always first. Those younger kids were not obviously having them handle firearms, but they can start with BB gun at third grade. So they can do the wildlife stuff and get excited watching the older youth. The Lakeshore Conservation Club is a 4-H Club meant to guide members through all things of the great outdoors. Members range from kindergarten to freshman in college. 4-Hers are really fortunate that they learn skills like the safe handling and all these other components with shooting sports. There's not just one thing to learn, it's multiple things that you can do and it's basically if anybody wants to do like go from BB to muzzle loading it's a wide variety of things to do. Besides the safe handling of gun and hunting equipment, wildlife preservation and conserving natural habitats makes this club a school of the outdoors. Kids can collaborate on projects and it's not just the accuracy of their shot. It's also whether they can accurately identify how to find solutions for today's violence issues and become a next generation teaching responsibility. It's mostly about safety so the parents know that it's not dangerous. You're also building community so these are adults that these youth can trust to talk about those issues and give them really good information about how you know when these challenging topics come up how to address them how you know how do you feel about that. Winter's approach means the club is set to close soon but soon enough this group will be on target to begin their lessons and master their skills again next spring.
