Re: Female Instructor For My Wife

You know that's exactly what I'd LOVE to do. Right now I don't have the time due to heavy business travel and taking care of my elderly parents. But I plan on retiring in 2 years and trying to get a women's gun group going at some range (I prefer indoor and have NEVER even shot at an outdoor range) would be great. I'd even like to get certified as an NRA instructor.

But that's down the road for me. I did see the other thread and will certainly participate in anything that is organized here.

Re: Female Instructor For My Wife

kitty -- you are correct. There is nothing here in the DFW area anywhere close to what Houston has for women. I did recently get a handout from a woman who works (or owns/runs) Elm Fork (not sure if it's still called that) and she seemed very nice. I believe there is a also woman there that gives lessons for trap/skeet/shotgun sports??? The only other woman working in the gun ranges I've ever run across was one that gave my CHL renewal course and I was embarassed at the presentation (or lack thereof) and the entire time thought what a poor message she was sending to the guys in my class.

Sounds as if Houston has fantastic opportunities for women handgun shooters. I don't know if it's because Dallas is so conservative, so anti-gun, or what....but there's just nothing that I've found. Bullet Trap in Plano has/had "womens night" on Wednesday and when I found out about it I went. Not one woman shooter there....but then again, I believe it was just a discounted price, not any type of class, group, casual get together type thing.

The Divas are in the DFW area but their agenda does not fit my "gunstyle" so that group is out for me.

I, too, am waiting to see what materializes in the DFW area and if enough women support it.....
