MUSKEGO, Wis. _ The late summer evening was hot and muggy; mosquitoes buzzed through the air and bullfrogs croaked from the nearby shallows of Big Muskego Lake.
Depending on preferences and abilities, it was time to retire to the air-conditioned indoors or head outside and make the most of the remaining daylight.
For Loreen Klauser of Muskego, Wis., and Jessie Strasser of Waterford, Wis., there was only one place to be _ the trapshooting field.
They grabbed their shotguns and gathered on the grassy expanse of Lakeview Rod and Gun Club.
It's a place the two feel completely at home. Through their impressive accomplishments, it's also a place they feel empowered.
And although Klauser and Strasser are separated by two generations, it's a common ground that evokes ageless memories and shared experiences.
