If you haven’t registered yet for the popular shooting events this weekend, do not worry. Participants can still register on the day of the event.
The 38th annual women’s .22 Josie Shoot is this Saturday while the men’s Wild Bunch Shoot is on Friday, both at the Buckskin Hills Shooting Complex. “The Josie Shoot was created to give women a supportive, encouraging and comfortable atmosphere where they could improve their firearm shooting skills or become introduced to the sport,” shares DWR Northeastern Region Outreach Manager Tonya Kieffer-Selby. “The female-only event provides the opportunity for women to socialize, make new friends who share similar outdoor interests and to create memories…This event is one I look forward to every year,”
Kieffer-Selby explains. “Some of these women have been competing in this event since the shoot began and are now bringing their granddaughters and great-granddaughters to it. It’s an honor to keep this wonderful tradition alive for women everywhere…This camaraderie also builds valuable partnerships within our small community. And now with the addition of the men’s Wild Bunch Shoot, everyone can participate throughout the weekend.”
