Now that spring in finally in the air all kinds of shooting sports events are popping up everywhere. The Arizona Women’s Shooting Assoc. is no exception.

Patsy, Katie and I attended the NRA Club University seminar to explore options and to improve how we are doing things in AWSA. After a yummy breakfast we learned other ways to improve our membership, website, check up on our insurance, benefits of the Business Alliance program and much more.

The afternoon was no less impressive on the continuation of subjects of complete interest. Each of our speakers held our interest and the tons of questions on each of the subjects were amazing. When all is said and done, networking and making new friend was such fun.

I must admit, upon reflecting back on the day I am amazed at what the NRA does for this sport. They really have it all together for every shooter’s experience. And if you’re an instructor, coach or assistant they help you get your students to their goal. The list is long with many different shooting disciplines and competition, Youth programs, range improvements and of course Women’s Programs to name just a very few.

One thing stands out the most, and that’s our Youth programs and how important they are. We must all do what we can to keep and preserve it, without our youth we have no future. We are only 10 to 15 years away of losing our future in the sport as mentioned by Noble Hathaway, President of Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association.

Arizona Women’s Shooting Assoc. does its part by keeping Momma happy. If Momma isn’t happy, nobody’s happy. Therefore Momma will let her kids get involved in the shooting sports. To me it’s kind of like, which came first the chicken or the egg. I am happy to be a part of the reason that is helping more women get involved in the shooting sports.

As someone so wise asked “ Who rules the world? The folks who show up do”. So everyone lets keep doing what we love, and thanks NRA for just being there.

God Bless and stay safe,
