Quick - who's the only person you can think of who is famous solely for being a marksman?

Something that all ranges and gun organizations ought to consider doing.
Think about it, not simply from the immeadiate RKBA angle, but on the larger political field as well. The women's vote is a primary leg of the DimLeft powerbase. If we can get women to see that the DimLeft is dead wrong on this issue, that provides a salient for demonstrating that they are dead wrong on most issues. That MIGHT lead to women removing themselves from the DimLeft plantation, helping to produce, in turn, the DimLeft's loss of power.
Which DEFINITELY should be among a pro2Ammer's long-range goals.

These sound like my kind of women! I hope they learn well, and start thinking about self defense.

The NRA identified this trend years ago and have been heavily engaged in trying to expand the numbers of women in the shooting sports for several years now. I would hope that reversals in gun restrictions in several states and an increasingly friendly atmosphere for gun-ownership would induce just this kind of thing.

In fact, I'd hope to see promotional events on the order of bar specials or community festivals. Too often gun ranges are enclaves for males to get away and grouse about the world 'out there.' Changing the clientele requires welcoming women, minorities, Gen X-ers and every other group that can be persuaded to our side.

I envision a 'Ladies Night'; 'Two-For-One Specials' on time block discounts; Red Eye Specials for early range hours before work; 'Extreme' combat courses...well, you get the idea. Make the focus on fun and publicize the hell out of it.

The big secret the Left tries to supress is NOT that 2A rights are inviolate. The big secret is that it is easy to convert anti-gun dingbat if they have a good time on the range. Invite your neighborhood communist to the range with you the next time you go, who knows, they might defect.

Welcome to Cherry Ridge Range, northern New Jersey's largest rifle range, and backdrop for the annual "Women's Day at the Range."

Down here at one of the local ranges, every Tuesday is "Ladies' Night"...

Guess it's a cultural thing.
