Nemours Gun Club (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Janet Lindenmuth said:
When I saw Nemours I thought this must have something to do with DuPont and Delaware. According to this old book on trapshooting the Nemours Gun Club was the first women's trapshooting club in the United States, founded in Wilmington, Delaware in 1913.
Janet Lindenmuth said:
Here's an article from the DuPont Magazine about the club digital.hagley.org/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/p15017coll... It's on page 29 (I don't think you can link directly to the page)
Wystan said:
They probably shot with DuPont Powders, too (the brand made famous by the "DuPont Dogs":

Harriet Hammond - Pres. Nemours Gun Club (LOC)

"In 1913 Mrs. Harriet Hammond organized the Nemours Gun Club, for women trapshooters, the first women's shooting club in America." The Great Delaware Sports Book by Doug Gelbert
pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
From Her Best Shot: Women and Guns in America by Laura Browder (UNC Press 2006), p 71:
"An employee in the agricultural division of Du Pont, Hammond had suggested that the company offer shooting classes especially for women as part of its gun club. The classes went so well that a trapshooting club for women was established. An adjunct of the Du Pont Trapshooting Club, the women's group was allowed to use the traps one afternoon a week, since 'it was not feasible to give up one of [the main club's] traps to women on regular shooting days.'"
