Archery shooting added to Louisiana Sportsmen's Show lineup

Two new events at this year's Sportsmen's Show will hit the bulls-eye with bowhunters.

Cabela's is sponsoring both a Kid's Shoot on Saturday and a 3D shoot on Sunday, according to Christine Pocorello, events and marketing manager for Cabela's.
"It's going to be a blast," she said. "There will be something for archery shooters of all ages."

Saturday's Kid's Shoot will have trained instructors on hand to demonstrate proper shooting technique to youngsters. A $1 fee gets each youngster five shots, and all proceeds benefit the Leadership Ascension Response Kitchen.

Bows to participate in the shoot are provided.

On Sunday, shooters who have sharpened their skills will want to participate in the 3D Archery Shoot.

Entry fee is $25 per person. Half of that goes back to the winners, and the other half benefits LARK.

The 3D shoot will have separate men's, youths' and women's categories, and entrants must supply their own bows.

LARK is an organization designed to feed communities during times of disaster. For more information, visit ascensionlark.org.
