July Update on The Well Armed Woman




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.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 7)

GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.73 feet below pool. Good early morning bass bite around shad spawn areas and with topwater frogs over grass. Midday to mid afternoon work flukes and yum dingers around grass good1-3 feet. New wave of spawners pulling up this week. Carolina rigs fair in 5-10 feet of water on secondary points. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Black bass are post spawn and the top water bite is on! Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation. The crappie are moving shallow, small clousers are producing well. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet biting clousers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie fishing is settling into the post spawn and summer patterns we should see for the next few months. We are seeing incredible numbers of small black crappie right now loading up on brush piles, lay downs, bridges and docks. The larger black crappie are a little hard to find but you can find some nice groups of them or pick a few out of the smaller fish. The bigger white crappie are beginning to load on the summer pattern trees. We have a tremendous amount of fry covering up a lot of those trees and making it very hard to see those bigger white crappie on forward facing sonar or for them to see your bait. You can find fish in 10-30 feet of water and some may only be 2 feet under the surface or right on the bottom. Minnows and any colored jigs are both producing extremely well. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
