What started as a small Friday afternoon get-together has quickly grown into one of our favourite regular fixtures.
Over the last few Coley Ladies Shooting Club afternoons at Ian Coley Sporting, we’ve watched the group grow from just three or four ladies turning up to shoot together, to nearly 30 women getting involved.
The atmosphere has been exactly what we hoped for: relaxed, welcoming and social, with a real mix of experience levels. Some ladies have been shooting for years, while others have only recently picked up a shotgun, and plenty have arrived on their own before quickly finding themselves part of the group.
Friday 11th September was originally due to be the final afternoon of the series, but after seeing just how much the club has grown — and hearing how many ladies wanted it to continue — Ian Coley Sporting have decided to keep the sessions running throughout the winter.
So we’re very pleased to say that we’ll be back at Coleys on Friday 9th October, from 2–4pm, in the usual format.
These afternoons are all about giving women a regular opportunity to shoot in a friendly, sociable environment without the pressure of a competition or formal event. Whether you’re an experienced shot looking for more women to shoot with, or you’re still building your confidence, everyone is welcome.
It’s been particularly lovely to see familiar faces returning each month alongside new ladies joining for the first time, and we’re really looking forward to seeing how the group continues to grow over the winter.
