Pink Target: Shooting for a cause

While adrenaline rush activities are not common for women, there are a few who excel in these activities. Shooting sports, however, is still largely perceived as a male-dominated sport, with few women engaging in it. To attract more women into shooting sports, the NGAO-K Sports Federation sought ways to rope in more females during the International Women's Day celebrations.

Pauline Munyi, an ardent sports shooter and the Chairlady and Youth Representative of the NGAO-KENYA Sports Shooting Federation and the National Gun Owners Association, identified an opportunity to take it up a notch by identifying something that women could do collectively. Through the several interactive shooting events in International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) and International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC), they realized that a particular component was missing.
