What’s your advice on getting new lady shooters involved?

Demo the Syren guns to see how they are custom made for us ladies.

What knowledge can you share that would make ladies better shooters?

1. Purchase your OWN gun…don’t just borrow one that doesn’t fit.
2. Gun fit – shoot a gun that will fit you.
3. Practice, Practice, Practice
4. Shoot “light” shells – 1150 to 1200 fps
