NRA Offers New Digital Publication for Lady Shooters

nra women what does female nrawomen.com

The NRA has released a special-edition digital publication, What NRA Does for Women, celebrating NRA women members and spotlighting NRA programs for women. What NRA Does for Women highlights NRA programs and activities geared toward women: recreational and competitive shooting; hunting; Second Amendment advocacy; and today’s primary reason for firearm ownership by women—self-defense.

This eZine spotlights the roles played by women in the NRA’s 153-year history, featuring ladies who helped shape the NRA into the most influential gun rights organization in the world. The eZine highlights champion women shooters and prominent lady gun journalists and commentators.

Women are now the fastest-growing demographic of gun owners. And women were well-represented within the NRA even in its earliest days. While it would still be nearly 50 years after the NRA came into existence before full women’s suffrage in the U.S. was realized, women have always been essential in transforming the nation’s oldest civil rights organization into the world’s most influential gun-rights group.

Created by the women editors of NRA Media, What NRA Does for Women spotlights some of the major milestones and accomplishments of the pioneering women who forged the path for today’s lady gun owners. This special edition eZine also includes reviews of recommended firearms for ladies.

Hunting Lessons — Reading the Wind When Hunting

National Hunting Day wind reading Thomas haugland
Last Saturday, 9/28/24, was National Hunting and Fishing Day. Working on your wind reading skills can improve your odds of a successful hunt. Image from NHFDay.org.

Thomas Haugland, a Shooters’ Forum member from Norway, is a long-range target shooter and hunter. He has created an interesting video showing how to gauge wind velocities by watching trees, grass, and other natural vegetation. The video commentary is in English, but the units of wind speed (and distance) are metric. Haugland explains: “This is not a full tutorial, but rather a short heads-up to make you draw the lines between the dots yourself”. Here are some conversions that will help when watching the video:

.5 m/s = 1.1 mph | 1 m/s = 2.2 mph | 2 m/s = 4.5 mph
3 m/s = 6.7 mph | 4 m/s = 8.9 mph | 5 m/s =11.2 mph

How to Gauge Wind Speed and Hold Off Using Reticles

This field video shows how to observe natural indicators — trees and vegetation — to estimate wind velocity. Then it shows how to calculate hold-offs using the reticle hash-marks. Thomas shoots a fast-cycling Blaser R93 rifle with Norma 6XC ammunition.

More Interesting Videos from Norway
There are many other interesting videos on Haugland’s YouTube Channel, including Game Stalking, Precision Reloading, Shooting Fundamentals and Tips on how to use a Mildot Reticle on a scope with MOA-based clicks.
