The Department of Natural Resources will once again offer Demonstration Days for mentored youth hunters at its shooting ranges in August. This fun event gives young hunters – and would-be hunters – an opportunity to shoot various firearms, crossbows and archery equipment. If you have children under 10, this is a great opportunity to familiarize them with firearms that are just their size.

The Demo Days events will be held:

Aug. 4 at Pontiac Lake Shooting Range (Oakland County)

Aug. 5 at Ortonville Shooting Range (Lapeer County)

Aug. 11 at Sharonville Shooting Range (Jackson County

Aug. 12 at Rose Lake Shooting Range (Clinton County)
