Peel,
I'm thrilled that all you Ladies had such a wonderful time there Saturday! I thought that was YOU in one of the foursome photos that Lori from LVSC published to their Facebook page (which of course I see in my news feed)! You're right about the subsidized fees, as NRA picks-up part of what they would normally charge and NRA Board member Bill Bachenberg & his wife Air Force Reserve Lt. Col. Laura Bachenberg, Lehigh's owners, pick up the rest in support of NRA Women On Target. FYI on the Women On Target Program: Most don't know this, but WOT was modeled after Old Bridge Rifle & Pistol Club's "Ladies Day at the Range", run by OBR&PC Recording Secretary Anna Brunner. Old Bridge's Ladies Day has been around several years longer than Women On Target, and over the last 2 decades I've had the distinct pleasure of being a volunteer instructor for about 17 of those years.
We'd love for you & Mrs. Zeke to join us on July 25th! Since our group runs the gambit from complete Noobs to Experts, we use the Green Course for beginners and the Experts mentor anyone requesting some help. Our goal is to raise funds to both "keep the doors open" and be able to run fundraisers like our ANJRPC matching funds program for the ongoing lawsuits required to challenge illegal & unconstitutional laws thru the courts. Our first such account has raised $2,500 (GOAL REACHED!) which the Coalition matched, so there's a cool FIVE GRAND going to help ANJRPC with their lawsuits!
Sporting Clays is like Golf with a shotgun, and Lehigh is the premiere sporting clays facility within several hours' ride! So you've both been to the BEST course around!
Your wonderful first-hand Newbie account of your time spent there is the stuff articles are made of, so can I use it as a piece on the CNJFO Facebook page & if so, what alias should I use for you? While you ponder THAT, here's a couple pix from our CNJFO event as well as Old Bridge Ladies Day (which YOU & Mrs. Zeke can attend next April!) and a photo of Bill & Laura Bachenberg.
Once again Peel, thanks for the wonderful write-up and hope to see you soon (and that youth model 20 ga. gas-operated semi I have FITS you)!
