This is a women only Appleseed. The instructors are all women only as well. The lead instructor is excellent. She knows how to shoot as well as teach. So if your looking for an opportunity to learn some fundamental marksmanship skills with a rifle and some American history in an all womens class this is your chance.

Remember women shoot free and the range fee is very reasonable. All you need is a rifle and some ammo.

Mods if this should go in events please move.

Yup.

Yep - she is REAL good!

If any of the ladies want to shoot this, but don't want to buy a .22, let me know. I have a Marlin with extra mags and tech sights someone could borrow.
