Piney,

The ladie's program is not a match, more like hands-on seminars. From the stories my wife tells, the instructors have a wide variety of subjects - basic safety and trigger control, advanced shooting skills, discussions on equipment and safety in the real world. This program promotes shooting as an enjoyable activity. Some ladies stick with .22s or go to centerfire pistols. Later, some ladies have chosen to participate in matches, or go for CHL.

If you are a member of PSC, you can shoot at any of the other ranges while the ladies are working. That's what I normally do.

My wife enjoys this event, but missed June because we were out of town. She has learned a lot from the instructors and participants, alike. The club has some .22 pistols for those that do not have their own shootin' iron. Particpants range from teens to seniors, rank beginners to IDPA match veterans. My wife was encouraged by these classes to participate in the club IDPA matches.

Regarding helping out, the rule seems to be, "No men allowed". It is true, except when they needed my truck to haul some chairs. Once unloaded, they shooed me off. No problems, I head off to one of the other pistol bays and practice too.
