This was a good idea, had a robust start, but like so many
endeavors, it required a lot of work by a lot of dedicated people to get up and
going. Also, like so many things, it
took a lot less effort to take it apart.
Without going into the painful details, the organization crumbled.
However, there are still a few clubs across the country who
host annual events, some under a slightly different title, but the concept of
safety, encouragement and promotion of the Shooting Sports is still
strong. That being said, there is no
reason any range can’t support a family event or set aside a Daughter Day, do
some type of promotion that may include extra instructor staff support, use of
.22 caliber firearms, or even a reduced cost.
Some clubs have prizes and a cook out and certificates and advance
registration.
No matter how you do it, formal or informal, this is a great
family activity and girls as well as boys love to make the first trip to the
range in a supported way, and most have so much fun they can’t wait to go
again.
So, consider encouraging your local range to promote a
family day, or a daughter day, and get everyone out for some fun!
