Whether you have never held a bow in your life or you are looking to dust off some old skills, you are welcome here. Join Kinfolk Hunting Collective and The Nature Conservancy for a hands-on day of archery, fly casting, and outdoor skill-building.
This day is designed specifically for beginners. We are building a space where hunters of all backgrounds, especially BIPOC, Queer, and Women-identifying folks, can learn at their own pace, ask questions without judgment, and connect with the land.
What We Will Be Doing:
There is no experience or gear required to join us. We will be walking the rugged, beautiful trails of Upland Farms Sanctuary, rotating through hands-on learning stations focused on:
-
Archery 101: Step onto our range. We will teach you range safety, proper shooting mechanics, and give you plenty of practice on both 2D and 3D targets. We will also have crossbows for you to try out. -
Fly Casting: Learn the rhythm and technique of fly casting. Our mentors will guide you through the basics, helping you build confidence with a fly rod. -
Online Mapping Tools: Learn how to digitally scout using the OnX mapping system and translate that to reading the actual terrain under your boots. -
Hunting Fundamentals: Get comfortable with different types of tree stands, hunting blinds, basic scouting techniques, and essential outdoor skills. - This isn't just about learning new skills; it's about connecting with your food, building self-sufficiency, and stepping into the Kinfolk Hunting community in preparation for our upcoming mentored hunts.
