Register Now for November Babes with Bullets Premiere Rifle Camp

Babes with Bullets

Princeton, Louisiana -(Ammoland.com)- You may register under the wire and get a place at the premiere rifle camp for women, offered by Babes with Bullets at Head Instructor Kay Miculek’s private range near Shreveport, La., from Wed., Nov. 3 through Sat., Nov. 6, 2010.

This three-day immersion camp concludes with a private match.

Many in the gun industry and the nation are aware of Babes with Bullet ladies action-shooting pistol camps, held since April 2004 under the supervision of Miculek – a 14-time national champion in rifle, pistol and shotgun – who recruited many of the top female shooters in the country, instructors that offer the unique ability to reach out to novice female shooters. This camp is the first in a series of rifle camps, added to the roster.

Camp Director Deb Ferns attended the first camp in 2004 as one of the novice shooters. Since 2004, Ferns and Miculek have worked as partners, along with senior instructor, Lisa Munson, to host dozens of camps across the US. To date more than 1,200 novice ladies have joined in the camps, which have been underwritten by Smith & Wesson since 2004. Along with financial support, Smith & Wesson also donates all the firearms – including their new M&P 15/AR-15 and M&P 22′s. This gives campers the opportunity to “try before they buy.” According to Ferns, an aggressive 3-gun competitor, “Of all the rifles I’ve used, the AR-15 is the most fun and easiest rifle to shoot. So many women are intimidated by the word ‘rifle’ and that’s due to the influence of mainstream media and has nothing to do with reality!”

HiViz Shooting Systems, along with Nikon and Insight Technology, help make the upcoming Babes with Bullets rifle camp available to more women through three-$200 scholarships. Please contact Deb Ferns, camp director, at Deb@BabeswithBullets.com to see if a scholarship is available. See the website at www.babeswithbullets.com to register for the upcoming rifle camp, or any of the other camps for 2010 and 2011.
