Crossbows and Cocktails

Ladies, listen up. Life is about learning new things — after all, you’ll never know what you might excel at if you stay in your current routine (evening, couch, Dibs). Take archery, for example. You could be harboring an uncanny gift for hitting targets with a crossbow. You could be a marksman.

The Redhead Range inside Bass Pro Outdoor World (200 Gulf Stream Way, Dania Beach) wants you to tap your secret skill, so much so that it offers Tuesday night introductory Ladies’ archery classes. For only $5 each, you and your hunter/gatherer sisters can enroll in a one-hour group lesson, get all of your rental gear, and learn from a private instructor. You’ll be in awe of the classroom: it’s a high-tech fake forest, where 3D plastic animals pop out from behind plants and trees automatically. You, weapon in hand, will stalk your synthetic game, unloading your arrows and likely, winning the respect of your peer group to boot. But we all know that no proper ladies’ night can occur without cocktails. Fortunately the nearest martini is only an elevator ride away, so you and your gaggle can celebrate a post-crossbow victory right downstairs at the Bass Pro restaurant’s full-liquor bar. But call early, each class only holds 12 lucky ladies. RSVP at 954-929-7710, ext. 4073.
