The ladies of The Lake Fork Chapter of The Well Armed Woman have been traveling! On June 24th, Sue Parrish, Carol Boykin, Barbara Brown and Peggy York, all of Yantis, went to Tulsa, Oklahoma to participate in the 4th Annual TWAW OK Shoot where they participated in seminars, experienced new firearms and made new friends. There were 89 ladies representing Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas!
The July 6th meeting had 14 members and 2 guests to witness 3 ladies receiving their Distinguished Expert medals for the NRA Winchester Challenge. They were Pat Kostial and her sister Mary Meyer, of Yantis, receiving medals for Defensive Pistol I & II. Anna Clay of Quitman received her medal for completing Pistol. It was announced that Trigger and Bow Shooting Sports will start a chapter for International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA). The meeting topic covered one of the fundamentals of shooting…site alignment and site picture. A handout of target analysis was distributed and explained. There were many good questions and everyone left with the understanding of how to adjust your sites. And ultimately becoming a better shooter.
On July 8th, a team of 3 ladies-Gail Hall of Mineola, Peggy York of Alba and Michell Leech of PA, participated in the Glock outdoor match held in Monroe, Louisiana. It was held at the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office Public Range. The ladies represented the Lake Fork Chapter of TWAW in the Girls Side Match. Each participant must shoot a Glock and these ladies shoot a 9mm.
On July 9th, Lake Fork Chapter Leader, Peggy York received a plaque for “First Place-Lady” for April-May-June. She and her husband Ladale participate in a monthly Glock Indoor League at the Eagle Gun Range in Lewisville.
Come out and join the fun! Make plans to join us August 3rd at J&K’s Trigger and Bow Shooting Sports, 9963 S Hwy 154. Due to the heat, we will have our meeting at 4pm and time on the range will begin at 5:30pm.
