I am not going to be able to do justice to this tonight.
I have been very active since 0500 and am sluggish.
But, I had a great time today hosting women at our
gun club. I will do a follow up post.
I was a volunteer with 4 other men and 3 women members
of our shooting group. We meet every third Sunday at 8 AM
to shoot muzzleloaders normally. We introduced women to the
pleasures of black powder shooting.
This is the annual April 2nd Women's Day at Central Florida Pistol
and Rifle Club. We are just south of Orlando. Every gun hobby was
on full display. Three gun, ICORE, Cowboy Action, Archery, everything.
All shooting bays were in action at the same time. There are a lot of
them.
We were told that we had processed nearly 400 women today.
(I privately- and inappropriately- joked that this was a personal best.)
They got to handle a dizzying array of fire arms and disciplines- including
ours.
I was proud at our display of options. There were easily 300 years of black
powder firearms displayed with calibers from .32 to .75. Flintlock, Cap Lock,
and Percussion Cap placed on coyote, sheep, and buffalo hides.
(Pics are being posted now... stand by... More to come...)
