First Annual “Women in Arms” Event

On June 17, 2017, The Forest Grove Sportsmens Foundation sponsored the First Annual “Women in Arms” event at the Forest Grove Sportsmens Club in Coraopolis, PA. During this firearms safety and training event, the women learned about black powder, pistol range, and rifle range shooting, as well as archery. They also participated in simulated firearms training, and learned about topics like situational awareness and domestic violence prevention.

The women were treated to a wonderful food buffet, and there were lots of great door prizes, including the Grand Prize: A custom target rifle built by Tim Hartzell.

Sponsors of the event included Simtec Simulated Firearms Training Services, Pittsburgh Action Against Rape (PAAR), whose mission is to respond, educate, and advocate to end sexual violence, and Michael Moore from U.S. LawShield Firearms Program.
