encourage new members

i saw a few comments about replies to females. i think we should encourage every one to own sporting arms and use to learn them safely and responsibly. i always try to get some one new to shoot with me to show them guns are not evil but a fun sport. there is always some one trying to take our rights away. if we have enough educated sport people that will not happen. conquer in numbers and education! i'm not acomplete idiot, i have parts missing!

I was somewhat scared about guns until my hubby took me out shooting.I like to shoot my 22 because it's a simple gun to start out with.........

As a former Instructor I was always glad to have gals in the class I think we need them to make our sport grow and besides the often out shoot the boys.

Everyone should know how to shoot. Besides being able to protect themselves it is great fun. My Granddaughter loves to shoot.

flyinguy: Sir; the hobby/sport caters to boys/men with macho imagery

Women by and large are too smart to become involved with menial thinking

Shooting and hunting becomes a passage into pro Magnums growth from knee walking; hanging in trees; and throwing crap to eat. ?Evolution?

Women on the other hand figured out 'real' quick that such activities broke nails, caused undue tiredness, caused tan lines to be un balanced, caused hair problems, and muscle strain. Women found out that a little wiggle, shimmy, shake, batting of eyes, smile and it was done

why bother with the tough stuff.

Invite any and all to go on these shooting outing, some will find a way and want to involve themselves. We the mass [men] would be wise to go with the "Ladies" when she wants you to go to a

fabric store, baby shower, Mary Kay, help with grocery store, washing the dog, cleaning house, mowing the grass, opera

Called sharing
