As part of the “Monts, land of games 2024” event, AS Monts tir, a club of 200 members, is launching a special initiative for women, from 13 years old, who wish to learn about this sporting discipline, represented at the Olympic Games. “Because women are significantly under-represented in the vast majority of clubs affiliated to the French Shooting Federationdeplores Pascal Vrignaud, president. However, they are particularly efficient. » As proof, within the Mons club, among the thirty members, Julia, Margerie and Lya, aged 11 to 13, are selected for the French championships.
It is in this context that, Wednesday June 5, 2024, several women presented themselves at the shooting range of the Griffonnes sports complex to benefit from a free session, lasting approximately one hour, of rifle shooting training at pellets at 10 m. Advised by Monique Fontaine, vice-president and shooting instructor, and Joëlle Valade, secretary, the motivated candidates fired their first cards. “It’s very different from the funfair”lance Alycia, 14 ans. “I’ve wanted to try shooting for a long time”explains Vanessa, 36 years old.
Until July 31, on Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., women wishing to learn sports shooting will be welcomed by the club’s experts, who provide the necessary equipment in a secure context. “We hope that many of them will be among our new graduates at the start of the school year in September”comments Pascal Vrignaud.
