The introductory shooting program for area women 18 years of age and older is on track for a session at the Midland Shooters Association Rifle/Pistol range Southeast of Midland, Texas. It will be a three hour course beginning at 3:00 pm on Saturday, May 1, 2004. And the objective will be to provide a thorough introduction to firearm safety, handling, care and shooting, with an emphasis on safety.
There will probably be a second session, but the first one will involve shooting of .22 caliber handguns. That low caliber was selected because it is light weight and has a very low recoil - ideal for beginning shooters.
Anyone who wants to bring her own equipment is free to do so, but pistols and ammunition as well as eye and hearing protection will be provided.
Anyone interested should call Jerry Moritz at 683-1814 (W) or 694-8390 (H) on or before April 27. And, an application form will be posted at the Midland Shooters Association web site, although it isn't up yet. I'll update here when it becomes available there. Instant update: The Ready Line has a link to a PDF form, here.
Participants will meet on the day of the class in the club house at the Rifle/Pistol Range. It's located Southeast of Midland just off of FM 1213 approximately four miles South of Highway 158 - call Jerry Moritz for details if you don't know where it is.
This looks like it will be a great program, and any woman interesting in learning how to shoot should definitely look into it.
