Bangels Profiles June 23, 2012

Here is our second installment of Bangel profiles.  What I think is so cool about this is seeing all the different skill levels and involvement from these ladies.  There is someone here we can all relate or aspire!

Karen L., a certified NRA instructor from Florida who thinks it is wonderful to learn from other women who shoot.  She is a big fan of Steph from Sons of Guns and enjoys target shooting with one of her four pink firearms: 380 and 38 Chic Lady, Mosquito 22 and a Mossberg 22 rifle.  She started shooting at age 44 on a double date with her hubby and another couple.

Joyce L. picked up shooting at age 50 and stopped only five years later.  Now, just shy of her 65^th birthday she is picking her firearms up again with no plans to stop!  She was first introduced by her husband, but the second time around she is hitting the range with her son.  She owns an S&W 38 and a brand new Sig Sauer P238 with pink hand grips which go well with her pink ear protection!  Some extra items she keeps in her range bag include Purell, extra clips, tissues, lip stick and chap stick.  As a retired Construction Cost Accountant, she enjoys Bingo, BUNCO, hand and foot cards and going out to lunch with the various ladies clubs she belongs to.

Jenn got hooked on shooting after a coworker let her shoot his Kimber 45.

Jenn M. is a professional landscaper who grew up with non-shooters, but when she moved to Montana and wanted to try it.  A construction buddy brought his Kimber 45 to work one day so she could shoot it, and she was hooked.  A member of the Big Fork Gun Club, she enjoys going to the pistol range, shoots clays and practices long-range rifle for hunting.  She has two memorable moments in hunting – once when she dropped her first deer with one shot and the other when she made a poor shot and had to track a deer for 5 hours and 3 miles.  “It brought home the power of what we do when we hunt” she states.  Jenn has an enviable collection of firearms which include a Mossberg 410 (her favorite), a Winchester 100 308, Browning A-Bolt 25-06, Taurus PT145PRO; Charles Daly 20GA side-by-side, and is having a custom AR15 in 6.5 Grendel made as I type.  When she is not hunting, she enjoys her dogs, gardening, cooking, hiking and motorcycling.
