Join other women for this handgun shooting workshop series for women, taught by women on June 11, 18 & 25 6-8 pm at the Outdoor Heritage Education Complex at Platte River State Park. This class will lead you through the basics of handgun safety, handling and technique by shooting paper and steel targets. Session #1 will focus on gun handling by using Shot Indicating Resetting Trigger (SIRT) Training Pistols. We will cover magazines, working actions and light shooting. Session #2 will increase shooting time, build skills and add a variety of guns and actions. Session #3 we will use a training system to analyze shooting and correct problems. We will finish up with a fun competition shooting steel targets. At the conclusion of the workshop, women will be able to identify parts of their handgun, how to load magazines, work actions, grip, stance, and accuracy.

This is a Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program.

Participants may bring their own .22 handgun and ammunition that matches their gun.
