It was a beautiful weekend at Central FL Rifle and Pistol Club, where 10 determined women came to a sold-out Ladyseed to improve their marksmanship skills and learn about their heritage. Every lady came equipped with an incredibly teachable attitude, and eagerly soaked up the instruction all weekend long.
Probably the best part of the whole event was the camaraderie and friendships that were formed. It was awesome to see the ladies encouraging and supporting each other throughout the weekend. It was obvious that the stories of the brave men, women, and children that sacrificed so much to secure our liberties resonated deeply with this group of patriots.
Kudos to our young patriot, 11 year old Justine, who persevered and displayed such focus and determination that she no doubt could put many adults to shame. She impressed all the instructors with her expert command of the bolt on her single-shot rifle, despite never having used a rifle before. Thanks also to our other young patriot Gabby, who joined us for a while on Sunday. You are always a joy to work with!
Congratulations to our newest riflewoman Loretta, who made score with an impressive 222! Your hard work and persistence paid off well! We also had a repeat riflewoman in Caryn, who requalified with a score of 216. Great work Caryn!
Raggin and Kristina, you were so close! You both worked so hard and made such tremendous progress! I just know that the rifleman patch will be yours sooner or later! Henrietta, you had such a positive attitude all weekend - you were an inspiration to us all. Jennifer, you never gave up despite frustrations. Keep with it! Carol, your smile was contagious, and your teachable attitude was no doubt the cause of your impressive improvements throughout the weekend. Trish, you were so focused despite difficulties, you definitely have what it takes! Lisette, your perseverance with having to use the hasty sling gave new meaning to the phrase improvise, adapt, and overcome. You are an amazing woman!
Every single one of you has the focus and determination necessary to become a riflewoman! Practice what you learned in dryfire at home, and you will attain your goal. I am so proud of every single one of you, and I sincerely hope that I will see you all on the line again!
I want to give a special thank you to the South Orlando chapter of The Well-Armed Woman. You are an amazing group of women and it was an absolute pleasure working with you!
And last but not least, thank you so much to the wonderful instructors who made this shoot such a success. Rambo Granny, you never cease to amaze me with your knowledge, energy, and devotion! inSANEmom, you are such a pleasure to work with. You were so great with working with the ladies on the line! Minnesotarabit, you are indispensable and we all enjoyed your stories so much.
Our men were wonderful and amazing as well. Thank you so much Mr. Pete, 9mm4545, smoakingun, xsquidgator, and Ted for your help and support this weekend. Thanks Ted for the coffee and donuts to keep us going! And we had a special cameo from PHenry, who came out on Saturday to gaze upon his first Ladyseed. We loved having you!

Great shoot, weather was mostly beautiful and a good line! Justine and Kristina, thank you so much for the painted AS pocket stones! I know all the instructors as well as I were very impressed and touched, especially knowing you went home Saturday night and stayed up doing these for us as tired as you both had to be!
Thanks MM for your wonderful organization, and to all the ladies and gentlemen who went so far above and beyond as usual. We appreciate WAW having us and hope to see some of you at the Malabar LS in January!
Hey Minute Mom, Rambo Granny, inSanemom, Minesotarabit, 9mm4545, smoakingun, Mr. Pete, Tom -- all of you are fabulous to work with.
Having never touched a rifle before, the experience was so awesome. I enjoyed the wonderful stories and reminder of our precious Liberty.
God bless all of you for your patience and ability to repeat the same thing 900 times. My ears never tired each 899 times.
While i would have liked to conquer the AQT, I look forward to the next time when I will have familiarity with the rifle.
It worked great when I remembered to take the safety off.
9mm4545 and Rambo Granny, thanks so much for trusting a newbie with your loaner.
