The PGCA effort to encourage youth (and lady) shooters should be two fold. PGCA as an organization should encourage youth and lady shooters at its events, such as having a youth and lady shooter in the competitions. Also, having stories and pictures of youth and lady shooters in Parker Pages and on the website. These are subtle things, but have a huge impact. Whenever we are looking for a hunting or fishing destination, Julia always goes on the place's website to see if there are any pictures of lady/child/families and if there are none, she writes that place off. PGCA already does these things and they just need to be emphasized and expanded where possible. The other part is the membership and that can be summed up in "take a kid (or lady) shooting"
