Eight action-packed adventures await female hunters in the new year, as the National Rifle Association's Women On Target® program has just
released its 2008 roster of hunting excursions.
Highlighting this year's schedule is an archery hunt for whitetail deer and
turkey in Missouri - the first-ever bow hunt offered in the history of the Women
On Target program, which began in 1999.
Also new in 2008 is a game bird/fly-fishing combination hunt in Maine during the
peak of the fall season in New England, as well as Sportsmen All-weather,
All-terrain Marksmanship (SAAM) training held in conjunction with a hog and
bobcat hunt in Texas. The SAAM training provides world-class instruction in
hunting marksmanship, focusing on how to shoot from a variety of positions and
how to handle the different terrain and weather conditions that can impact shot
placement in the field.
Hunts for pheasants and chukar in the Midwest, elk in the ruggedly beautiful
Rocky Mountains, and wild turkey in Kansas can also be found on the 2008 schedule.
"The Women On Target program brings together women from all walks of life and
allows them to share their love for hunting and the outdoors," said Rosemary
Herr, Manager of the NRA Women's Programs Department. "The hunts that we've
assembled this year allow women to break the routine of their daily lives and
find their dream adventure."
Women On Target is the foremost hunting program in the country created
specifically for women. The program provides a safe, stress-free hunting
environment for both novice and experienced hunters.
Pre-registration is required for all Women On Target hunts. Low hunter-to-guide
ratios, tremendous locations, and economical prices ensure that each hunt sells
out quickly. To register for a hunt, or to obtain a brochure detailing this
year's hunting excursions, call (800) 861-1166, send an email to
womenontarget@nrahq.org, or visit www.nrahq.org/women/hunting/index.asp.
