Ladies Day @ MGC
On May 19th MGC will be hosting Ladies Day, where we will offer wives, girlfriends, acquaintances, shooting instruction consisting of classroom gun safety and introduction to range equipment, a break for lunch, then outside to shoot some targets. We’ll be limiting the class size to 30 so we’ll be able to give the “students” the attention they need. Our goal is to make the ladies in attendance more comfortable with handling a gun, educate them about the shooting sports and have them break some targets. This is open to all ladies that have an interest in learning to shoot shotgun, open to the public. No cost to the shooter. We will provide the eye and ear protection as well as ammunition and targets. Lunch will also be provide in the Gunners Grill. Itinerary listed below. Contact Mark by phone at 952-469-4386, email at cameron.mark@ymail.com , or at the front counter. Guns available to use on a first come first serve basis.
