Does Calguns ever promote an event for women that are already avid sportsman/shooters?

I assume most women on this forum are already gun nuts but every event I see geared to women are all for beginners.

It's true. You are right.

I've never shot with a group of girls before. All of my shooting buddies have always been guys (even when I shot competativly on a team in school, all the other teams were male).
I think it would be an experience to not have so much male ego around and then have them stalk off to when they can't keep up.

Default after training gun purchase

Just a stupid question, but I'm assuming most of the women attending will not have HSC card. How is a purchase expected to happen?

Is there a waitlist? My GF really wanted to attend but was not able the register each time she checked the site. She figured the date/time was a typo, however, now checking the site, it shows as FULL on both sessions.

I don't know what the interest would be or how many ladies we have active in the bay area. But always looking for shooting buddies.

I'm not necessarily interested in saying women only as long as it doesn't turn into a testosterone fueled ego fest.

Folks, no, the event is not yet full, however, a large chunk quickly registered. We are expecting to give the other vendors helping (Turners, CRPA and NRA) a chance to get advertising out. The next live date will be announced at least 72 hours prior, so everyone gets a fair chance.

My wife is really bummed...she was so excited to do this as I told her all about it after the recent Burro Shoot and Q (she wasn' there), and I knew it was coming up,but it shows the registration is already full. Well,maybe next time.

this wont be a one time event, the success of it has caused some very serious chatter in the C3.

DANG IT!!!
I saw it and had a chance to register my Wife but had to verify if her schedule allowed it... It got to where I had 4 women lined up and ready to register/go and now that I check, there is no room.

They need to do more of these... Oh well...

Oh great -- I answer a phone call for a few minutes and the thing is opened up and sold out before I can log back on. If there is a back up list, my wife would definitely like to be on it.

Wish I could make it down and help out, but I am needed up at the range. I am involved with putting on WOT Clinic's in my area.
Thank you for putting on this event I know how much work it takes.

FOLKS, THE EVENT IS NOT FULL. REGISTRATION FOR THE SECOND ROUND WILL BE ANNOUNCED. PLEASE STAY TUNED.


Also, as Jacob said, this WILL NOT be a one time event. We have some 22,000 Active CalGuns members....it would be foolish to assume only 100 of them would be allowed to go. Maybe we can work on a waitlist for the next one, after this event is ACTUALLY full.
