@TLK My boys are on the way here from Tennessee and will be here tomorrow. They both want to go to the range with me. I just texted them this and told them they better be able to quote this in advance… or no range time.
The other things we need are women instructors, Cindy is in demand running women’s only classes, I have trained one woman but here in mid -Florida we could use more good ones.

My wife shoots and has a CPL. The local indoor range has a ladies night Friday nights where range time is half off for women. More women need to shoot. More everyone needs to shoot, and shoot more often.
Cindy and I do M/F classes together but she also does a couple women’s only classes a month here in mid-Florida, they are full every class. She said every class there are questions that would not have been asked if a man was present. We need more female instructors!
I am very happy and proud that my wife took interest in learning about firearms after I bought my latest handgun (Sig P320 compact 9mm) and got my PA and FL carry permits. She began to shoot at the range with me and eventually purchased a Walther PPS M2 9mm handgun for herself. Now she has her PA carry permit as well. I am proud of her and I am glad that I can share these interests with her.
I have taken six women to the outdoor range in the last two years, I buy a family membership so I can bring more guests.
I like to bring 4 or 5 different guns, a revolver, semi auto pistol, pump shotgun and semi auto rifle (AK47).
I allow them to handle and dry fire each one and show how to load and unload each one and then live fire one at a time.
After we go through each firearm I let them shoot the one they like the most as much as they want.
The smallest young women (90lbs.wet) liked the AK the most, go figure.
Two have gotten their CCW and one bought a pump shotgun.
Two had never fired a gun before and two had fired their husbands Deer rifles. (Think, watch what happens when my wife shoots my 30-06 for the first time) and laugh like Hyenas.
