‘Watch out!’ A participant hollered jokingly as participants lined up near
the rifle range targets, preparing to take their first shot with a handgun
at the women’s only shooting event.

‘If you shoot an instructor, you fail,’ instructor Pam Schmitz added.

Indeed, it was an unusual sight: Twenty-five women armed with guns and
ammo, donning ear and eye protection, filled the instruction area of the
Clark Rifle Range on Saturday for the inaugural regional Women in the
Outdoors event. The rule was no men allowed, although a handful of male
range officers were present for instructive purposes.
