TODAY WAS AN EXCITING DAY FOR SOME YOUNG WOMEN IN LOUDOUN COUNTY.  They had a wonderful opportunity to participate, get training in, have fun with

An all-day event for women (ages 14 years and older), offering various introductory outdoor activities:

  • Archery;
  • Intro to Fishing;
  • Kayaking;
  • Fly Fishing;
  • Rifle,
  • Shotgun and Handgun Shooting;
  • Map and Compass; GPS;
  • Intro to Hunting;
  • Outdoor Survival Skills;
  • Intro to Camping and
  • Outdoor Cooking;
  • Gourmet Cooking of Wild Game 
  • Outdoor Photography.

From 7:30 a.m. till 6:30 p.m today, women, were introduced to outdoor activities and sports and, if they wished, participated in the events and training. 

Over 50 women, all ages, attended.  My participation was demonstrating skeet shooting.   Some of the young women had never held a shotgun before and they were thrilled when they shot the first clay pigeon, and the second and  . . . . . 

I love participating in events for young women.  Let them learn young and they'll enjoy outdoor sports as much as Lenn does.  Safety is paramount.  Then, shoot a few birds and have some fun.

In the early part of the day it was pouring rain, so a tent cover was set up to shoot some birds and learn to handle the shotgun.

Demonstrating how easy Skeet is was my job.          Once the rain stopped, we used the range.

Look at you Skeet shooting, Lenn!  What a fun day you had!  When I used to take my boys to camp during the summer, I often wished that they had an 'adult' camp as those days are some of my best childhood memories.  You had exactly that experience today--without the cabin camping!!

Debe.  Indeed. It was an adventure.  I've been shooting for many, many years.

Sheldon.  Thanks.  The ladies, all ages, had a wonderful time participating in many events.

Lou.  It was indeed.

George.  HA!  Don't be concerned, unless they aim your way.

William.  I believe you raised your right hand and took an oath . . . . . . . .

Jeff.  You know the old saying. . .  all work and no play. . .  Not a chance with me.  I work hard and I play hard.

Jim.  Indeed.  The first "color" has arrived.

Robin.  Thanks.  Outdoor sports are for everyone.  Sadly, women are not introduced to many outdoor sports and activities early in their childhood as often as they could.

Lenn, I am a poster child for that. The only outdoor thing I ever did was march in band. Which I loved and was good at, but as a result I am crap at all sports!

Robin.  You have missed some adventure.  But, we all have our areas of interest and all are good.

Just enjoy what you do.
