"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

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.'"
