This event will take place at now six different shooting ranges across Nebraska on Saturday, April 27 from 9:00a.m. to 11:00a.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.
