Ridge Johansen, Barb Ernst Muehlethaler, and Matt Ernst recently met and provided basic wing-shooting training to women from a local Green Bay Chapter of “Armed Women of America.”
Barb is also a member of AWA and was asked to consider putting together some training for interested women, who have never had training on the difference between shotgun & handgun shooting.
Thank you Matt & Ridge for being instrumental in this effort!
They met with AWA on July 29 and plan to meet again in August.
The training covered the different types of shotguns, safety, stance, gun mount, and basic wing-shooting techniques. The women were able to apply the learning while practicing on trap and skeet fields.
They did very well and everyone had a safe, enjoyable evening!
For those of you who are not familiar with AWA, here is some information about them:
AWA’s MISSION
Armed Women of America (AWA) exists to enable women to be their own self-protectors, creating freedom, peace of mind and confidence in themselves.
The meetings offer classroom and range time, all under the guidance of certified women instructors (and the Green Bay chapter is privileged to also be instructed by GB Law Enforcement officers) who volunteer their time.
Armed Women of America provides a safe and comfortable environment for women to gather, learn, train, and discuss issues important to women gun owners.
