Our First Gun Cleaning Class!

The first gun cleaning class was a huge success. Thank you to all who participated. In order for your gun to function properly it needs to be cleaned and lubricated regularly.

We will be having another class in November. I will let you know the date once I get it set.

The National Center for Missing Adults and Children.

The Women's Shooting Academy is proud to announce that due to our hat sales we were able to donate $200.00 to this wonderful organization. In addition to our hat sales donations I have decided to personally match that amount. The total donation amount was $400.00. All of our donations are made in memory of Dari Mansfield who was murdered back in 1985. Dari is the mother of Hanae, one of my wonderful assistants! Thank you so much for your support of our efforts through your purchase of WSA hats.

HUM....
Coolness and a steady nerve will always beat simple quickness.Take your time and you'll only have to pull the trigger once.

News on the ammunition shortages:

In speaking to some local gun shop owners it seems that ammo is starting to make it's way (slowly) to the shelves again. This was also confirmed in an article written this week in the Reno Gazette Journal. Let's all hope this trend continues!

TACTICS - TACTICS - TACTICS....you are only as good as your training!

The first Co-Ed tactics class scheduled for next Sunday Oct. 4th sold out in just over a week. Due to a large number of you who were unable to get in on the class I have set another date. I already have several people signed up so call right away....THE DATE IS SET FOR SATURDAY NOV. 7th. This Co-Ed class will sell out.

If you are a women and prefer to be in a ladies only class, the next tactics class will be held on Saturday Oct.24th at Scheels. Call me ASAP to register.

Just a little reminder from Vicki.

Because of recent abductions in daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation....

Pay attention to everything going on around you.
Awareness is your FIRST line of defense.

The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do.

If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern.

ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT.

Have a plan ~ Practice your plan ~ Live your plan

A NEW NON-FIREARM COURSE WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN A FEW WEEKS...
This will include the proper use of pepper spray and a baton.
REMEMBER: You want as many choices as possible at your disposal.
