LOUISVILLE, Neb. (AP) - A marksmanship clinic for .22-caliber rifles has been scheduled Saturday at Platte River State Park in eastern Nebraska.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says there will be shooting from three positions at targets that are scaled to simulate shooting at 100, 200, 300 and 400 yards. Participants will learn the six steps to firing, natural point of aim, steady hold factors and much more. Participants must be at least 8 years old.

The program is sponsored by the Revolutionary War Veterans Association, which is committed to teaching rifle marksmanship and early American heritage.

The park sits just west of Louisville (LOO’-ihs-vihl), along the Platte River in Cass County.
