The Logan County Pheasants Forever Chapter 894 in partnership with the Logan County representative of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, recently hosted the annual Wing-shooting Clinic in rural Logan County.

Eleven young shooters were joined by instructors Josh Pharis and Ed Anderson and IDNR instructor Terry Muser. The youth spent the morning learning about firearm safety, hunting safety and then took part in clay target shooting to strengthen their skills.

After lunch, the group went pheasant hunting. Each youth member worked with a hunting dog, dog handler, and an instructor. At the end of the day, each one had bagged two pheasants.

The goal of the day was to get young people outside, help them understand the responsibility of handling a firearm and how to do so safely. The kids had a great day and so did the instructors.
