Ladies are you looking for adventure this fall? Would you like to learn outdoor skills from top instructors? If so, than you need to join me in New Mexico at the world famous shooting complex Whittington Center this September.

Whether you are a seasoned huntress or just getting started, you will love what the NRA has to offer women at the Women’s Wilderness Escape (WWE) 2009.

The NRA’s WWE is truly a one-of-a-kind adventure camp designed especially for women. WWE provides hands-on experiences such as archery, tactical rifle, muzzleloader, turkey hunting, long-range rifle, survival skills and much more to the participants. Unlike any other outdoor experience the WWE offers training from some of the best instructors, the participants also get the added bonus of learning these skills at one of the country’s premier shooting facilities, the NRA’s Whittington Center.

Come join me again this year in New Mexico for a week of action packed adventure.

Registration is still open, for more information visit the NRA’s Women’s Program Web site at

Rhode Wear SHE Shooting Collection & EvoShield® Technology

SHE Outdoor Apparel’s Shooting Collection was designed exclusively for the female shooter. Working together with four time Olympic medalist Kim Rhode, SHE designed the performance shooting apparel for women with the highest quality, best fitting, feminine style available to women today. In designing the collection SHE Outdoor Apparel incorporated the EvoShield® which is the world’s first custom forming recoil protection. All SHE Shooting Collection garments were designed with Evoshield® to provide the maximum recoil protection on the market in ladies shooting apparel, while providing the durability and style SHE is known for. Here are just some of the benefits of the EvoShield® technology combined with the exclusive SHE design of the female shooter.

Improves shooting accuracy; reduces felt recoil by more than 80 percent; permanently formed to your own shoulder and natural gun set; interchangeable universal recoil shield can be switched between the entire collection; comfortably concealed inside the garment; made of thin, lightweight composite material covered in a breathable mesh top with soft polymer backing; performance tested; offering maximum impact dispersion.
