I got a call this week from a gun club member asking if I would be a coach/spotter for the NRA Women On Target program at our range today. I said I would. I had no idea the program was so big and intense. I was thinking maybe four or five women on the pistol range for an hour or so. The ladies had three hours of classroom instruction. Then after a brief lunch, provided by the club, they got to fire 20 rds of pistol and rifle, and some shotgun shooting, too. They needed a coach for each shooter, and there were about thirty ladies there learning to shoot. It was hot, about 98F. Some had never even held a gun until today and many were over 60 years old. It was a hoot. I coached at the rifle range. When my ladies would hit the metal animals and send them flying at the 40m berm, they just loved it. We didn't finish at the range until 4 pm. Four hours of shooting. The ladies all seemed to love it, in spite of the heat. I think this is a great program. BTW, most of the coaches were old farts like me.
