1 week ago | womensoutdoornews.com | Michelle Cerino

June first marks the beginning of the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s (NSSF) Gun Storage Check Week, which provides an opportunity for all gun owners to review their firearms storage practices, while also creating an easy opening to remind others to check theirs. Though it may sometimes feel like an intrusive question, for those who have children who spend time at friends’ and relatives’ homes, this reminder may facilitate discussions about firearm storage.

Vera Koo’s love of the arts is ever present in her writings and social media accounts. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve seen photos or read about her visits to museums and live theater, only to further research them on my own. She has always inspired me to seek out similar types of experiences during my own travels. The following are three of her past articles that may also inspire you to immerse yourself in the arts in your life.
Surf Fishing for Beginners

1 month ago | womensoutdoornews.com | Anietra Hamper

Are you interested in surf fishing but unsure where to begin? Anietra Hamper provides valuable advice in her article “Surf Fishing for Beginners.”One of the things I love most about fishing besides just spending time outdoors is experiencing new waters, unfamiliar methods and trying for new species. Surf fishing is something new to me.

Pistol shooting champion Vera Koo is always open to and searching for new experiences. For example, after she retired from competitive pistol shooting, she decided to venture into the shotgun world with sporting clays. She shared much of her openness to new experiences through the years in her articles at The WON. The following are a few of our favorites. At a young age, Vera had no experience in sports, not even a physical education class. Then she met Carlos, and all that changed.
The Kuna: A First Look at Springfield Armory’s New 9mm Pistol

1 month ago | womensoutdoornews.com | Michelle Cerino

Last month, I shared tips for using a 9mm carbine for home defense in the Gear Up column. Little did I know then that Springfield Armory was releasing a new line of pistols, the Kuna, in April. I anxiously awaited its arrival, hoping to have it in my hot little hands in time for the release day so I could tell you more about it. I hope you are as excited to read about it as I am to share my first look at the Kuna pistol. First, though, a little background on the name, which I think is really cool.

It’s an event I’ve wanted to attend ever since I heard about it – the National Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic. Hosted by Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, this year’s gathering took place at the Kansas City Convention Center. Along with the seminars, exhibitors and bird dogs with their “humans” everywhere, the event also offered a brunch for women, titled “Women on the Wing.” This affiliate program began in 2018 in response to the burgeoning interest of women in the world of upland hunting.

Easter time is a wonderful opportunity to think spring and brightness – outside and inside. I wanted to find Easter desserts that had these qualities: appealing, colorful and easy to make. I found two ways to knock out some little dessert ditties that could grace a dessert buffet table and add a little zing to the mix on the big day. Thanks to Pinterest, I found Easter blossom cookies and flower pretzel bites. For assistance, I relied on help from the grandkids.
