NWTF-WITO AT KENNEKUK ILLINOIS PIC's
The National Wild Turkey Federations Women In The Outdoors Classes were held at Kennecuk County Park in Illinois on June 4th, 2005. I had the pleasure of being asked to once again this year instruct the Deer Hunting Class for the ladies whom attended, I also instructed the Wild Game Calling Class and instructed the Archery Class. We had a good turn out of ladies from grandmothers to granddaughters. The ladies really enjoyed the Archery Shooting and when class ended I had 2 girls that wanted to skip their next class and stay and shoot the bows instead for another hour
Gotta say I had one young lady from Georgetown Illinois that was a true natural with a recurve bow.... dang she was good!!!! And she was one that stayed after to shoot for another hour. She asked where she could get a bow and all she needs to buy to shoot and I refered her to my sponsoring pro shop in her town so they can outfit her with all she needs to start shooting a bow of her own... I am so excited for her. I had a helper to help with the recurve and longbow shooting since I pretty much suck at traditional bows, and Jack was a godsend... he really fired up some of the ladies to shoot.... Since I was suffering the effects of frost bite in my foot and then got glass in the same foot I was helped by alot of great people and if it wasnt for them I never could have done the classes and set up all the equiptment.
If you know a women whom is interested in the outdoors please incourage them to attend a NWTF-WITO Event... they are a blast.. we had classes on , outdoor cooking, camping, canoeing, fishing, shot gun shooting, deerhunting, Wildgame Calling, Archery. Get them ladies in the outdoors!
