On Friday September 10, 2010, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the Twin Pines Conservation Education Center, Winona, for the recently completed Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant improvements to the archery range located on the grounds at Twin Pines.
On hand for the ceremony were local NWTF Current River Caller Chapter committee members Troy McAfee, David Adams, Skyler Bockman and Valeria Adams picture here with Melanie Carden-Jessen, Education Center Manager at Twin Pines and Tori McAfee, daughter of Margaret and Troy McAfee of Winona. Tori cut the camouflage ribbon to officially open the range.
The Twin Pines Archery Range is located to the west of the center and consists of an instructional range and a static range with targets at 10, 20, 30 and 40 yards. The range was constructed as two Eagle Scout projects with funding from the Missouri Department of Conservation. Funding for the ADA improvements were provided by the Wheelin Sportsmen, a division of the National Wild Turkey Federation and the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation.
The range is open from sunrise to sunset when the Twin Pines area is open. Twin Pines is located in Winona Missouri on Highway 60, 1.3 miles east of the intersection with Highway 19 North. The Center is open Wednesday thru Saturday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Sunday 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. For more information or to register for programs call 573-325-1381.
