Outdoor Women Unlimited hosts annual Southern Classic in Wetumpka

Jacksons Gap's Pat Johnson, center, says she continues to return to OWU events because of the relationships she has made with the other members.

After being forced to wait three weeks since the original scheduled date due to storms, the 2019 Outdoor Women Unlimited Southern Classic was held at Bennett’s Archery Center in Wetumpka on Saturday. The OWU had eight different classes set up across the campus for women to attend, providing hands-on training and education.

“Outdoor Women Unlimited was created in 2001 by my mom and I with a couple of other ladies,” Whitney Hurt said. “The purpose of it is to educate women in all different facets of outdoor events and activities. Our goal is to get a woman who is a novice and take her to where she can do these things on her own.”
