Whether you’re an “Old Fogy”, “Codger”, or “Youngin”, it’s time to prepare for the .22 Wild Bunch Shoot and annual .22 Josie Shoot coming up the first Friday and Saturday in June. The mens Wild Bunch Shoot is a growing sensation. “In just a couple of years, we’ve witnessed this men’s competition become a huge success — especially for the men that come to support the women who compete the following day at the Josie Shoot,” shares DWR Wildlife Recreation Programs Specialist Anthony Christianson. “This is a great way to create shooting sports traditions and keep them going for generations to come.” The .22 Josie Shoot is the main event, now in its 36th year! “The Josie Shoot was created to give women a supportive, encouraging and comfortable atmosphere where they could improve their firearm shooting skills or become introduced to the sport,” shares DWR Northeastern Region Outreach Manager Tonya Kieffer-Selby. “This female-only event provides the opportunity for women to socialize, make new friends who share similar outdoor interests and to create memories. The participants have kept this tradition alive for over 36 years.” Both events are free but participants are asked to register in advance on Eventbrite.
