With an eager turnout, we covered the ins and outs of learning to safely operate a pistol. Many of our attendees had shot a gun before and many had never shot a gun. Regardless it is always a good opportunity to review the basics and the safety that is essential in using firearms. This event really culminated the mission behind DED--bringing women together to learn about shooting in a safe and comfortable environment.
Recap:
-We went over the basics of shooting a pistol and important reminders. Becki, who is a certified shotgun/rifle instructor, provided women with tips often forgotten when learning how to shoot a gun--like remember to breathe!
-Kevin, Owner of Kaw Valley Gun Club, went over additional instructions with the class. His tips were essential to learning how to properly operate the gun. Having run the club for a long time, he also pointed mistakes to avoid and appropriate shooting range etiquette.
-Inside the range, Jennifer and Becki, gave instructions on a 22 pistol (unloaded). Women were taught how to load a magazine, and then accurately shoot the pistol.
-Everyone was given a try to shoot the 22 at a target and there were plenty of bulls eyes!
Next up, the DEDs are offering a conceal and carry class on August 25. Click here for details.
