First, I want extend our deepest gratitude to Bullet and Barrel!  Bullet and Barrel is the only National Shooting Sports Foundation 5-Star indoor facility in Alabama. They also have a Ladies Clothing Boutique.  Please check the schedule for future events there.
We can't thank the Shooters enough! We had 6 fantastic Ladies shooting. You all gave us a whole day of your lives.  That's the most precious thing we have, time. I hope that you all found the time well spent and I hope to see you all again soon!
I can't possibly express my gratitude adequately to Google and AH1Tom for their assistance in every facet of the event. They all have my undying love and respect. 
We had an outstanding recount of the First Strike by AH1Tom. Safety was well covered by Google. Then, into the range we went.  Our first 13 rounds were on the Hits Count/ Red Coat target.  On the range we learned about proper grip of the pistol, chamber checking, Isosceles stance, low ready and centerline index.
We practiced what was taught using the Small Dots target or "tombstone" and dry fire for each block of instruction.   
At lunch AH1Tom regaled us with the 2nd Strike!
After the lunch, we worked on controlled pairs, double tap and one-hand shooting with both strong and weak hand. Finally, we moved to the PQTs. 
There was absolutely phenomenal improvement on the line for all Shooters. Though at the end of the day, fatigue was taking a toll on all of us. 
At day's end, AH1Tom told the 3rd Strike and riveted 9 very tired people.
A HUGE hat off to all of the ladies. There was some trepidation for some of the ladies. By lunchtime they were all acting like they had grown up on a range! I would love to shoot with them all again. 

I love my Appleseed family.
