You should ask these questions all the time. You know the adage, you get out of it, what you put into it! That's very true when it comes to shooting. Whether for competition, hunting or personal protection, you have to put in the time. Watching videos and reading articles is good, but ultimately, you have to do it! Sometimes training and practicing is more enjoyable with others. Perhaps there are friends or family interested in the shooting sports. A great opportunity could be our first ever, Men's Shooting Clinic. At our Women on Target events, many women have asked if we offered a similar program for men. They expressed that their husbands, sons and other male family/friends would be interested. We listened, see below for details. The piece of advice I'm going to give you this month...Don't look at training as a gauge of your abilities, look at it as a stepping stone to perfection! For those that are planning to get your pistol permit, get it done and submitted - we know it can be daunting, which is why we now offer an Application Workshop to help you. More details to the right. _____________________________________________________________ | Women on Target |
