| Women On Target - NRA
Shooting Event September 8, 2012 |
|
| My friends Ellie & Rose went with me to the
Women on Target shooting event on Saturday. We had beautiful weather, shot
lots of guns, and a great time was had by all. |
|
|
Here we are: 400 women, ready to shoot stuff!
|
|
 |
Me, Rose, and Ellie
We started the day at the .22 rifle range. |
 |
 |
|
Girls with guns |
|
 |
 |
| This is Whitey - what a character. These are antique guns from
his personal collection. |
Now we're on the AR-15 range. |
 |
 |
| Dead-eye Ellie | You can see the casing flying in this one - headed straight for me! |
 |
 |
| Rose kept on shooting even when her ear protection slid off. (Don't worry, she also had in ear plugs.) |
The lunch is a total carb-fest each year, so I've learned to pack my own. The girls liked it. |
 |
 |
| My view of the group picture of 400 women. It was an unruly crowd! | Now we're off to shoot skeet. I have trouble with leaning back. |
 |
 |
| I think the gun is longer than Rose is tall! It knocked her back into the wall behind her with each shot. |
Both girls had sore shoulders after all of this. |
 |
 |
| My beautiful friends | Rose at the pistol range. She has an Angie Dickinson thing going on. |
 |
 |
| Ellie, enjoying herself and looking like a pro. | Some of the pistols we shot. They were all supplied by the wonderful volunteers who staff the event. |
 |
 |
| Me with a casing flying out. | By the end of the day, we were tired. |
 |
|
| Pistol-packin' mommas. | |
