+1: if it's not a dorky trucker hat like the NRA hats I would be in.
No dorky trucker hats either. I had this in mind. Very hard to miss.

LOL! Your hair looks just great to me, Len! Plus, you clearly get a shower each day...
.
I can't wait to try mine out - as I sat there in the hall while they were molding in my ears, the noise reduction was phenomenal - kind of creepy, since I knew how noisy it was. Even using both plugs and muffs at the range, it's like I'm using nothing, and most days I come home with a headache.
FYI, Lens looks nothing like his avatar.
I wish I could get the half day of my life back.... What was up with the door fee too!!! I remember it being like a couple bucks lat year...
If you really want to see if they work, sit on the bench next to mine when I shoot my AR with the JP muzzle brake. I get "the look" from the guys at the club when They see me setting that thing up. They tell me that it's very loud.
Oh, I've met Len a couple of times!
First time I met him I was disappointed. Wasn't expecting a ....you know.
What were you expecting with a name like Len and a picture like my avatar? A transvestite?
Sorry to disappoint!
I think it has a lot to do with wives watching what their husbands are spending and girlfriends going along thinking it'll be fun until they spend an hour and a half getting ogled and crop dusted.
Well, you didn't disappoint me Len! I've enjoyed meeting you both times, and especially with Mrs S this last time.

.After the initial shock and disappointment I enjoyed meeting him too.
Yeah, the loudest experience at a range I've ever had was whilst shooting in Texas one time. I think a couple of the guys at the range were firing cannons.....
when there is THAT much free parking on the streets of downtown Manchester why would anyone use the parking garage and pay?? Plus it takes forever to get out of it at the end of the day.
As to the parking in Springfield they even hose the dealers, between the parking, admission and the crap food at gourmet prices I don't see why people still go there.
The doctor, Drgrant, usually describes the place as having that fart gas smell. LOL
I can tell you that while I was there I saw no less than 4 women looking/asking about carry guns. Only one of them appeared to be with their significant other.I haven't been to a show in a year or so, but it seems like more women are getting in to shooting. Or at least carrying.
Thank you and the feeling is mutual. We both look forward to seeing you again soon, perhaps in Woburn (2/8) and perhaps in Natick (2/13)?

I'll probably get to the Natick meetup again. But not the Woburn one sadly, I rarely do bars. Hopefully we'll manage another gathering like the Waltham one soon though - I enjoyed being able to sit around over dinner and chit chat, that was a lot of fun!
Is it also greed when you try to get the most for something you're trying to sell?
It's not a bar , there just a a food place that sells booze. There burgers Are awesome . Saturday I so a few women looking at pistols together . One kf the dealers said he could get it in pink. They said they'd rather have black . Lol
I also saw a couple of women while I was wandering around, and both seemed to be on their own. Nice to see.
My wife had a good time checking out wheel guns and even the "gun toten mamas" purses. No sale this time, but some good ideas!

At the NRA show last year there were several vendors selling carry accessories for women. There were a few firearms manufacturers that were showing firearms marketed to women as well. I think they are gimmicky, but my wife has mentioned that if she were gun shopping she'd want something with pink grips.
I guess there's a market for that.
Seriously though, women, particularly younger women, are the fastest growing demographic in the shooting market. The NRA realizes that and is starting to target that market. I think that the firearms manufacturers will follow suit and not just with pink grips.

Guys don't like to admit it but they are just as bad. There is truth in the saying "AR-15 – Barbie Doll For Guys".You're absolutely right, there's a huge market for the gimmicky stuff - girls love it.
So I'm not surprised it's taken off so well. Whatever works and gets women motivated is definitely good. But I'll probably just stick to the regular versions.
