WOMEN ON TARGET AT PORT JERVIS, NY

19 women participated in the Port Jervis, New York NRA Women on Target Instructional Shooting Clinic; many came from the surrounding community and some as far away as Long Island. Mothers were accompanied by their daughters and some daughter bought their mothers! Guests came to learn about gun safety, shooting skills and the fun of marksmanship sports. The best was the assistants that helped in running the program and training the new shooters.

Members of the Port Jervis-based Tri-States Rod and Gun Club, local FFWPU members, and volunteer youth helped with range duties, food concession and general support of the ladies who came. The classes were taught by Mrs. Lesa Ellanson, an NRA certified instructor; she was aided by numerous shooting enthusiasts, including her husband, Rev, Lowell Ellanson. Many thanks to those who helped and we look forward to the 2012 class.
