HARTSBURG, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites women, ages 14 and older, to a free women’s handgun program at Ammo Alley in Hartsburg on Jan. 8 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

This workshop will teach participants the various parts and operation of handguns, ammunition, handgun safety, and shooting fundamentals. This workshop will include shooting in a climate-controlled indoor shooting range after a classroom learning portion. The classroom learning portion is offered free of charge, and the shooting portion will require a $15 shooting range fee per participant paid directly to Ammo Alley.

Handguns and ammunition for this event will be provided by MDC, but participants are welcome to bring their own unloaded, cased handguns if they provide their own new factory ammunition. This workshop is open to women ages 14 and older. Those between the ages of 14-17 must attend with a parent or guardian who is also registered for the workshop. Registration for this event is required and can be done at http://short.mdc.mo.gov/oJT.
