;SQIR 3R 8EVKIX EX XLI %MV½IPH 7LSSXMRK 'PYF By Dale Mullin, Clinic Director Wakefield, Virginia Hurricane Ida was no longer at hurricane strength when it visited Southeastern Virginia the week of November 9, 2009, but it still boasted strong winds and lots of rain. Virginia’s Governor declared a state of emergency as the rains that started on Wednesday continued well into Friday. Some of the ladies who had signed up for our clinic the following day could not attend due to flooding, but 21 intrepid ladies did attend and what a GREAT group they were! We started the morning with a safety briefing and then divided the ladies into three groups. One group went to shoot pistols, another went to shoot rifles, and the third group went to shoot shotguns. The groups rotated on a fixed schedule and our two volunteer coordinators, Kelly and Linn, did a superb job of helping us to stay on schedule. When all of the ladies had sampled each of the three shooting disciplines, we gathered in the Airfield 4-H Center’s dining room for a very nice luncheon buffet. After everyone had eaten, ASC President Tim Drewry, told the ladies about the club and about other shooting opportunities available to them. After lunch the ladies had the opportunity to choose their favorite shooting discipline and to spend the rest of the afternoon doing more shooting in that discipline. They also had the opportunity to shoot some of their personal firearms.
We have received lots of e-mails from the ladies saying that they had a good time and learned some new things. In speaking with the instructors it is clear that the ladies weren’t the only ones enjoying the day at the range. As previously mentioned, this was a very good group and our instructors truly enjoyed working with them. Curtis Stone, one of our instructors, graciously volunteered to take photos at the event. You can read his account of the day and watch a short video clip at his blog site.
