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 (Sep. 24)

GOOD. normal stain; 85 degrees; 1.29 feet below pool. There is good topwater action early in the morning around pond weed with topwaters and frogs. Then use flukes and soft plastics stick baits along the edge of the pond weed most of the day. There are still a few groups of fish offshore, but bass are primarily scattered from 12-22 feet in roadbeds, humps and long points. Deep crankbaits are good over points and humps in 18-25 feet. Report by Marc Mitchell, Mitchell's Guide Service. Early and late topwater bites around grass lines and isolated cover on main lake and secondary points. Try frog and mouse patterns for topwater. Bass are schooling in creeks, so a hard-bodied popper should work. Bream are shallow, try small hoppers. Sand bass are schooling mid-lake. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Lake Fork crappie fishing is heating back up as we begin to head into early fall. The black crappie are stacking up in huge numbers this week on brush piles and other structures. The bite for them is still a little finicky but small hand tied jigs swam over them or small jig heads tipped with minnows are working to get them in the boat. Still having to go thru numbers of fish to find the larger ones. The white crappie are also showing up on timber along creek channels in 18-28 feet. That bite has gotten stronger and the minnow tipped jig heads are working well on those fish. Have caught some fish on soft plastics the last few weeks. We should see the bite getting even better when water temps drop down as we begin to cool down more. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
