The Spring 2017 Expo was so much fun this year. Wish to thank all
who came out to support the Arizona Women's Shooting Associates. I
am so grateful to all the ladies for giving up their weekend and working
the booth. Making sure everyone one safe we donated some ear plugs
to our little friend who was in the next booth.

Here is the photo we took of Marci and Larry Welton the winners
of the beautiful quilt we raffled off. Marci was so excited
when I told her she had won.
Marci and Larry Welton run some of the shotgun competitions
out at Ben Avery. So I guess you could say we kept the quilt
in the shooting family and close to home! Congratulations Guys! |
This
quilt is going to be raffled off starting at the Ben Avery Expo,
April 2nd and 3rd, 2016.
All monies collected will go to the Scholarship Fund for women
who can't afford training.
See you at the Expo - Support our Scolarship Fund - 1 ticket
for $5 and 5 tickets for $20. |

Dear Mrs. Ruh,
I'm compelled to write to you today, because of the quality experience
I had at your facility. I felt welcomed by you and your staff from
the very moment of arrival, on the property. |
|
The hospitality we received was friendly and of great service to us.
The experience was 'one of a kind', and from what I was able to grasp
from the overall ambiance of the place, it was truly amazing! |
Thank you for the excellent day of training that you and your
staff provided for myself, my son Joshua, my brother Jeddo,
my father Jimmy, the staff, and students of Theodore Roosevelt
School. |

Thank you for refreshing our safety awareness, by enlightening
us on firearms safety rules. By extending your knowledge to us, it
has greater reshaped our lives and the way we will view the art of
shooting firearms.
Personally, it was therapeutic and revitalizing for me to experience
the informative process of teaching and training, as well as, the
opportunity to go out on the shooting range and shoot at targets.
As a first time participant, I felt like the staff was well prepared
and the overall clinic seemed organized and structured from the very
beginning. I felt well informed and prepared to go out on the shooting
range to try my new found knowledge.
Shooting was a very unique experience for me. The energy released,
stimulated all my senses. It was invigorating to feel focused and
confident.
|
It
takes several talents to simultaneously coach different skill
levels, and leave all the students feeling that they received
your attention.
You and your staff helped us all so much, and it definitely
did wonders for our level of self confidence. |
The lessons were of tremendous benefit, and I know we all left
the range feeling exhilarated, ready to go on learning and improving.
Thank you, also, for the education in sighting-in our rifles, and
helping us to better understand the trajectory and velocity of shooting
a rifle. The seriousness of gun safety and personal responsibility
was conveyed in a positive way, yet never loosing sight of how much
fun it can be, to be out on the shooting range. I enjoyed receiving
guidance and supervision from such talented, well-rounded individuals,
who appeared to be very passionate about their interest and expertise
in the art of shooting firearms.
Please extent my appreciation and thanks to the rest of your staff,
for their time and effort, put forth, on our behalf. Thank you, once
again, for such a great experience. I will never forget it.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Skeet
