Ladies Day on the Range
April 27 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
$15.00
Seven unique locations across Nebraska open just for women to try archery, target shooting or just check out the venue across Nebraska on Saturday, April 27 from 9 to 11 a.m. During the two hours, ranges will specifically dedicate resources to offer a fun, safe and welcoming environment for women.
Women will be able to learn about firearm models, practice safe gun handling skills, shoot under the guidance of skilled instructors, take a tour of the ranges and get to know other women interested in learning more about shooting sports. A Becoming an Outdoors Woman representative will also be onsite to talk about the program.
Equipment and materials will be available to try or participants may bring their own. Ranges will vary on which firearm and archery is offered that day. Please indicate on the registration form which range you plan to attend (registration preferred; not required).
