TOPIC: Rifle Shooting & Archery
WHEN: Saturday, June 25, 2011
TIME: 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
LOCATION: Columbus Sportsman’s Association

This is a day long workshop for any woman with a physical disability who would like to experience rifle shooting and archery. To start out, basic knowledge including safe and proper handling of guns and bows will be covered. Participants will work one-on-one with an instructor and volunteer to make needed adaptations, so each woman can be as independent as possible based on her comfort level. Quality time will be spent learning both rifle shooting and archery with lots of fun practice time on the rifle and archery ranges (and 3D archery range for those interested and time permitting). We will conclude the workshop by discussing options for further practice and opportunities for applying their skills beyond practice shooting. Lunch will be provided.

This is a FREE workshop. Generous efforts have been made to raise funds so financial barriers are not a factor preventing any woman from participating in this exciting outdoor experience. If you have transportation needs, please inform us when you register so we can provide some assistance with travel arrangements.

Because of the individualized instruction, space is limited to 15 women, so register early to insure a spot.
