Ladies Only Workshops
April 16th 2025 (see calendar for subsequent monthly dates)
DSA started these workshops to provide women with a comfortable and encouraging environment to learn and improve their firearm skills. The workshops are held monthly and are open to members, associates and the general public. Each event carries a nominal fee to help cover the cost of ammunition. Firearms are provided or you may bring your own with prior approval.
The second 2025 Ladies Workshop is scheduled for Wednesday evening April 16th, with a start time of 5 pm. This workshop will feature rifles and ladies are allowed to bring a PCC or semi-auto .22 rifle if they have one. All rifles and .22 ammunition will be provided. This workshop is open to all lady club members or associate members and friends. We welcome non-members, so everyone bring a friend. Cost is still 10.00 dollars per person.
