Scene from the range,

holiday edition.  Mother's Day, to be specific.

One of the things the anti-rights people keep pushing is "Only a few old white guys own most of the guns."  Because ANYBODY who isn't old/white/male owning arms just doesn't fit the Preferred Narrative™.  They'd have hated this weekend.

The Mother's Day weekend included mom's getting free range time and a free rental if they desired, and a LOT of women, sometimes alone and sometimes with family along, took advantage of it.

And, just to add to the irritation of the gun bigot's hemorrhoids, lots of them were not white.  Damn near a rainbow.  Some shooters come in for the holiday, some 'never fired a shot before' people who wanted to give it a try.  And every one I saw left with a smile on their face.  Which knowledge would really piss off the hoplophobes and gun bigots.

Ah well, the weekend is over.  But the fight goes on.  And every time someone comes in with "I've never shot a gun before", gives it a try, and has fun, we move things along in a good direction.

Ooo, baby. We have the lovely Iga Wyral coming in at #13. One of my all time favorites. And 13 is my lucky number.........

The times they are a changing. And for the good. We have a lot of women and girls coming to my club nowadays. Much more than just a few years back. We even have training for novice, female shooters called "Girls and Guns" which is taught by a female NRA instructor. Advance registration is required and the lesson sessions are always 100% filled. We also have some girls coming up to the trap range to inquire about trap shooting. It's really fun to see them break their first bird. I think that I have just as much fun teaching them as they do shooting. In the coming weeks a friend and I will be taking a young lady from my former employer to the pistol range for the first time. She's excited to try her hand at handguns. I haven't seen her for a few years and I'm really looking forward to seeing her matched set of .38s again if you know what I mean..........

Oops, I put my Iga comment here instead of on the Saturday data post. She must make my head spin more than I thought...........
