Shooting, archery and flycasting fishing enthusiasts are invited to participate in a fundraising event for the Hawai'i Food Bank Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Koko Head shooting range.

Participants in the 37th annual Hawai'i Hunting and Fishing Day will receive an activity coupon good for various firearms, archery or flycasting activities on every can of food or $1 donated. Children and adults can participate in archery with bows provided by the National Archery in the Schools program, and flycasting, courtesy of the Kaka'ako Kasting Club.

A new activity this year will be the LaserShot, with free safety training provided by the Hawai'i Hunter Education Program.

Representatives of the Safari Club International-Hawai'i Chapter, the Hawai'i Historic Arms Association, and the DLNR Divisions of Aquatic Resources, Forestry and Wildlife will be on hand with educational displays.

Since 1995, the Department of Land and Natural Resource's Hunter Education Program and hunting and fishing clubs have donated many tons of food and thousands of dollars in contributions to the Hawai'i Food Bank. Last year the Hunting and Fishing Day raised more than 1,400 pounds of food contributions and $1,600 in monetary donations for the Hawai'i Food Bank.

The Koko Head shooting range is located off Kalaniana'ole Highway on the the first left driveway past Hanauma Bay.
