PRESIDENTS CORNER FSSA President’s Comments Happy Independence Day. We are surely blessed by the freedoms we have. One of those freedoms is the right to keep and bear arms, a fundamental right protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, and by the constitutions of Florida and many other states.

| TOP STORIES NRA Women On Target Gateway Rifle & Pistol Club Gateway Rifle and Pistol Club (GRPC) hosted its fourth NRA Women On Target pistol clinic on May 11th. We had 12 ladies attend, most of whom had little or no firearms experience. Sue Carter was the Clinic Director, Ted Carter was the Range Safety Officer, and Larry Watkins served as the Chief Range Officer. The ladies learned firearms safety and range commands, and then moved into the basic fundamentals of shooting. They were split into two groups and took turns on the firing line on Range 1 at 7 and 15 yards. Each group spent 30 minutes learning to group their shots. They then came back to the line to try their new skills at a smaller target, and again at hanging plastic bottles. Finally, they had an opportunity to shoot and pop balloons. 69th Annual Fiesta of Five Flags Pistol Match May 4-5, 2019 2019 Results Bulletin Has Arrived!
