Outdoorsmen to have Ladies Day event

VW Outdoorsmen Association information

The Van Wert County Outdoorsmen Association will be having a “Ladies Day Only” event at the range. The event will take place from 9 a.m.-noon Saturday, May 3.

The shoot is for women who are novices around firearms or who feel uncomfortable with them. Association members will have .22-caliber rifles and .22 pistols for participants to use, so women will not need to bring anything with them. Hearing- and eye protection is also provided.

The group will have National Rife Association-certified instructors and range safety officers to teach this class. Participants can be new to the shooting sports or just have questions they would like answered.

This would be a great class for mothers and daughters to take together to learn more about firearms. Participants may be as young as 10 years old but must be accompanied by their mother or grandmother.  This is a free day for women so there is no fee for this program.  The Outdoorsmen Association will accept the first 20 women or girls to register.

For more information about the program or to register, call 419.203.5419. Preregistration is required to participate.
