Fishing equipment is available for you usage, but bringing a rod or two and some glitter power bait may increase your chances of catching a fish.  Note that you will need a license if you plan on fishing at Scott Lake.

A variety of bows are available for you to use, including traditional recurve bows and compound bows. Or you can practice target shooting at the nearby range with a variety of firearms under the supervision of one of our instructors.
