This is a friend of mine that had never shot a gun in her life. After years of gently inviting her to learn to shoot, she finally took me up on the offer. She had an absolute blast and learned quickly. She fired several different pistols and rifles that day and now describes herself as "addicted".
She has a very large Facebook presence and I don't think any of her friends there are shooters. After getting her permission I posted this picture on my FB page complimenting her on how well she did. She, of course, Liked and Shared my post and her friends have piled on to speak in amazement about how proud they are of her and she has become somewhat of a hero to them. Most importantly, many of them are now interested in learning how to shoot.
The best public relations we shooters can do is bringing more people into the shooting world. Do it with care, kindness and patience and the results is very rewarding.
