Make new friends other fun ladies who share your desire to learn more about pistol shooting. Whether for fun, defense or curiosity, we welcome you to come and give it a shot!
What to expect?
When you arrive, you will be greeted in the parking lot with electronic hearing protection and eye protection. Next, you will be invited into the classroom for a discussion and demonstration about the basic parts and functioning of a pistol. Then, it is time for fun on the range!
Our teaching style in this class is “fun” and at a relaxed pace. After all, safety is incredibly important! Each shooter will take turns on the firing line where they will have a coach who dedicates their full attention to the student who is shooting.
How much recoil / kick should I expect? (Yep, we have seen the videos of jerks who prank unsuspecting ladies by having them fire massive guns, booo hiss those jerks.) The guns we will use do NOT hurt your hands. The size that everyone will start with will have about the same impact on your hand as receiving a high five from a 2-week old vegan baby! If you want to move up to a larger size pistol, you can expect about the same vibration on your hand as a you would feel from hitting a tennis or golf ball.
You will shoot a variety of pistols and revolvers, and you will probably be pretty darn impressed as you see your skills improve. By noon you will have learned a lot about pistols and pistol shooting. Our hope is that if, the next day, your neighbor shows you a gun they found in their late spouse’s dresser drawer; that you will be able to safely and competently make sure it is empty. If you hate the idea of private ownership of defensive tools like handguns, please attend this class! This will be a fun way for you to demonstrate intellectually honesty and see what pistol shooting is all about. No, we won’t have an overweight rude dude trying to sign you up with the NRA. lol
After shooting, High Caliber Women founder Lynn Sherwood will host a luncheon at TBA, where you are all welcome!
We were doing a photo shoot years ago, and the ladies decided to make a joke about their right to bare their arms, of course Ashleigh retained her right to keep her arms covered! lol Our suggestion is that you dress for the weather, whether or not you decide to bare your arms! We do suggest a non-cleavagie top, because hot empty brass cases going down your blouse is not comfortable!
