At 1 p.m., Will Sampson will demonstrate how to build a bow.
Those interested may shoot trap with Charlie from 1 to 4 p.m. Those planning on doing so should bring their own ammunition, shotgun, and eye and ear protection.
Food will be served by the youth shooting league.
The group will also have a booth at the Wilton Blueberry Festival on Aug. 5 and 6. Those interested may ask questions about membership. Tickets for the annual fundraiser and wall of guns will be sold.
