Today was awesome!
HELL YES IT WAS!!
We only had seven shooters, which is bad because we had hoped for more ladies to come out and shoot . . . but it was GREAT for those that did come, since it meant more shooting time for everyone.
We had some great participation by WaGuns members:
- Oldkim, of course, is the grand master and creator of SOTM.
- Shelley_Rae gave a great talk on carry gear and methods of concealed carry specific to women, and represented West Coast Armory which is where we were.
- Steble01, BoxerGirl and I were safety officers.
- MSXDM was there shooting it up!
And I'm sure we had other WaGuns members there too, but I just don't know . . . chime in if you were there and I didn't mention you!
We started with the usual getting comfortable drawing, reholstering, etc. and then moved on to drawing and shooting, and then added movement (retreating, advancing, moving laterally, using cover) into the mix.
Then oldkim killed the lights . . . and we shot in the dark, both with and without flashlights and/or weapon-mounted lights. Very cool.
And at the end, we laid out a couple of tables of random guns, and everyone got a chance to try different toys. Glocks, AK-47, Benelli M4 12-gauge, Sig 556, PS90, M&P15-22, Sig pistols, H&K USP, CZ-52 and a whole lot of others . . . .
Great job to everyone; I think it was a GREAT day. Special thanks to West Coast Armory for hosting us, and to oldkim, who likes to give the safety officers all of the credit but in reality does 99.44% of the work himself.
