We always get a smile on our face when the Lady Sharpshooters make their annual trip to Emporia. There is a unique buzz in the air on the first morning of class – complete with happy greetings, delicious treats, ear-to-ear smiles, and so many hugs! This trip is certainly a festive social gathering, but there is more to it than that for this talented collection of engravers. LSS provides each member a community of like-minded artists who support each other as they learn and cultivate their craft. Encouragement leads to growth, which inspires members to continue their journey. They check in with each other throughout the year and by doing so, hold themselves accountable to the group. Growth and development of skills provides new opportunities that they never thought were imaginable when they decided to start an all female firearm engraving class. Each individual accomplishment props up this family of engravers, the Lady Sharpshooters. We asked the 2023 class attendees what the LSS has meant to them. Thank you to all the Sharpshooters for sharing your experience. 5 Questions We Asked The Lady Sharpshooters About Their Experience
