Women's Outdoor Adventurer Beverly moves from target to target during the multi-gun competition

Park City, Kentucky - Today's activities at the Women's Outdoor Adventure centered around multi-gun competition. Over the past few days, the ladies spent a good deal of time learning the ins and outs of rifles, pistols and shotguns. That was all in preparation for this morning's multi-gun events.

Instructors created three courses of fire for the women to complete. Using the firearms they received training on with this week, each ran through the course while being scored for time and accuracy. And in the true spirit of sportsmanship, every competitor was showered with cheers of encouragement and praise while they made their run. There was also a little friendly competition brewing as they rushed to check on each other's score upon completion of each stage.

Park City, Kentucky - Since we’ve been here in Kentucky for the Women’s Outdoor Adventure, the women have spent plenty of time shooting. But this morning was all about enjoying the great outdoors. The ladies headed down the road to Mammoth Cave Adventures where they split up into groups to either go horseback riding or on a zip-line canopy tour.

First up was zip-lining, so the ladies got fitted with harnesses and helmets before heading off into the woods. The zip-line tour included five different zip-lines, which connect to platforms attached to trees, high above the ground.

The women began the course of fire by shooting at two paper targets before moving around stacked barrels to three more targets. As they shot the three middle targets, they were encouraged to move as they shot, combining accuracy with speed.
