It was a warm Sunday afternoon and the Spring Ladies Day at the Androscoggin County Fish & Game Association shooting range was well attended — more than 100 women had signed up for the event. “We’re trying to introduce women to shooting in a safe and comfortable environment,” said Wendy Younk, event coordinator. To partake in this outdoor shooting party, a woman just had to show up. The ACFGA provided all of the weapons, all of the ammo and all of the professional instruction. They’re assisted in part by grants from groups like Gun Owners of Maine. A big part of the ACFGA mission is to acquaint people with the proper function of various firearms. Kids are no exception. The club is planning a Youth Day shooting event on June 26.
