Ridge Johansen, Barb Ernst Muehlethaler, and Greg Hohn recently met and provided basic wing-shooting training to women from a local Green Bay Chapter of “Wisconsin Armed Women.”
Barb is also a member of WAW 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 Greg & Ridge for being instrumental in this effort!
They met with WAW on August 3rd.
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 field.
They did very well and everyone had a safe, enjoyable evening!
Introduction to Shotgun Sports.
The Brown County Sportsmen’s Club can offer an introduction to to the shotgun sports to your group as well. We can tailor the training to your groups needs or interest.

WAW’s MISSION
Wisconsin Armed Women (WAW) 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.
