The Tioga County Women’s Shooting Society’s indoor season for shooting practice at the National Range and Armory at 31 Washington Boulevard, Williamsport, PA 17701 will continue this Sunday, Jan. 14.

“We will meet at 9:45am at the CVS Plaza parking lot at 197 North Main Street in Mansfield, PA 16933 and leave at 10am sharp to carpool to Williamsport. We will get there a bit before 11am,” said President Marilyn Jones. 

“Shooting practice is from 11am to 1pm. Afterwards, we will stop for lunch and should be back in Mansfield by 4:30pm,” Jones said. “We ask the ladies to help with gas for the car they ride in.” 

Women should bring their firearm of choice, ammunition, targets, eye and hearing protection with them. Those supplies are available for purchase at the National Range and Armory. Firearms can be rented or purchased. Attendees at shooting practices will pay a lane rental fee of $5 to $15 depending on how many people are sharing the same lane. 

Saturday, Feb. 10 is a confirmed shooting practice date for the group at the National Range.

At 9 a.m. this Sunday, Jan. 14, a free, one-hour Eagle Watch led by local eagle expert and enthusiast Matt West will be at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Tioga-Hammond Dam Ives Run Mixing Channel at 94-98 South Main Street in Tioga Borough in Tioga County.

This is the best location in the area to view bald eagles in winter. West will answer questions about these amazing raptors. Bring a camera and binoculars. A limited number of spotting scopes and binoculars will be available. The Tioga County Woodland Owners Association is sponsoring this event, and will provide hot beverages and maybe some snacks.

To get to the mixing channel from Wellsboro, take Route 287 north for 17 miles (past the Ives Run Recreation Area) turn right at the stop sign onto South Main Street in Tioga Borough and drive a distance of one mile to the parking area, including to the end of South Main Street, wind past the park entrance gate and drive past the mixing channel and park. For information, call the Ives Run Visitor Information Center at 570-835-5281.
