Cowboy Junky Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 We GOT women..........and it sure makes it nicer
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Yes yes yes, we need more single women to join us at the range. How else am I going to meet my next ex wife. Planning ahead, are we???? LL
Cody's Darlin' SASS #34183 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Ah, so there ARE single AVAILABLE men who shoot? I don't shoot to meet men, but heck, to find a good one would be nice! As other ladies have said, the majority of men are very respectful and if you need assistance, are there to lend a hand. One of the earlier lady posters hit the target dead center- financially it is harder for a single lady than a single man to participate in this sport. I love and miss it, and hope my life will allow me to get back to shooting soon!
Jimmy Reb, SASS #54804 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I sooooo wish my wife would shoot with me. She goes to matches but has never fired a gun. ever. j-r
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Hey Pards, I started shooting with my hubby, who no longer shoots. You have treated me so well that I am sticking around without him. I just took my SIL, Shelly, to her first match as a spectator (Battle of the Rogue River in Merlin, OR). Everyone was so nice to her. She understands the addiction. Thank you folks for treating the women so well! She even commented on how polite and gentlemanly the men were. Allie Mo
Shooting Bull Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I'll throw you all a curve ball, my wife is the one who got us into SASS. She fell in love with it just from watching one episode of Shooting USA and said, "THAT is what I want to do." I was into all the modern 1911 sports at the time and said, "If it looks like fun to you, go for it." Didn't take but a couple of visits with the local clubs before we found out how great the people were and it got me hooked too. I think the cliche is: You come for the shooting but stay for the people. As for why there aren't more lady shooters around here, let's see. If a woman shows up to one of the local matches, chances are the first person she'll see/talk to is Madd Mike, Ace of Hearts, Creeker or me. What woman in her right mind would want to stick around after THAT kind of welcome?

Well Grizz, Philly doesn't let SK's presence change his "flirting" a bit. I respect a man who is the same in front of his wife as he is when she is not there. AM
Grizzly Dave Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I go home and tell Miz Grizz all about all the pretty gals I get hugs from and whatnot. don't seem to faze her none.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Why I can't hardly turn around at a match without accidentally bumpin into a lady. I think they're getting wise though.

Then tell them you'd come back next month but you don't have any gear and see which ones offer to bring some for you to use. You might wind up like Scarlett O'Hara surrounded by the Tarelton boys!! Good Luck, Rufus
