On May 17th, 2007, SAS of TN held a Ladies Shoot. Eighteen ladies came out on this beautiful day to hone in on their skills, with only a couple still in the learning phase! Our Range Master, Buford Tune and his APPS staff did their usual great job of teaching and entertaining the girls throughout the morning and early afternoon.
After giving the safety talk and demonstrating loading and unloading and grips and sights, the women shot about 100 rounds to practice what they had been taught. After that, we took a breather, while Karen Yatuzis, a SAS member's husband, Larry, went and picked up some barbeque. There were 50 rounds left to be shot, and also the competition to go, so we asked the women to save 10 to 15 rounds for the "game"! It was a good thing, too, because we had to have a shoot off for 2nd and 3rd places!!
Our very own Karen Yatuzis won 1st place, and Barbara Ragland won 2nd, with new shooter Nikki Morton earning 3rd! They each got a certificate, along with 2 most improved shooters. These were two new shooters, Nikki, again and Chevene Herring, who did an awesome job of becoming more confident throughout the day with their shooting!
These gals had such a great time, along with door prizes won by almost everyone (until I ran out!) and great food and great fun, that we're going to get together soon at another local Tennessee Wildlife range just meet and shoot! SAS also gained 3 new members that day, with a couple more on their way!
We're looking forward to hosting another shoot, as soon as we can get the range again!!
This is what makes it all worth the effort!!
SASily Yours,
