Women On Target® clinics are available only to women — it’s a safe and friendly environment whether you’re picking up a gun for the very first time or are just brushing off some dust and need a little refresher. You’ll immediately feel at ease in the half- or full-day clinics, and will be provided with a hands-on, one-of-a-kind experience. No experience or equipment is necessary to participate.
Please Note: The response to this program has been overwhelming and met with great enthusiasm. With class size limited to approximately 20-25 students, we ask that applicants be patient. All applicants will be given the opportunity to attend a clinic, however they will be scheduled over the next few years with approximately five clinics being offered each year.
The Elk County Sheriff’s Office wishes to acknowledge the sponsors of the local Women On Target program:

If you’re curious about firearms, whether for personal defense or to learn a new sport, Women On Target® is the perfect place to start. These instructional shooting clinics are designed to teach you firearm safety and the fundamentals of marksmanship, giving you the confidence you need to safely handle and operate a firearm upon completion.
