I think this is a great idea.

Some women might not be intimidated by the size of the gun at all so make sure you let them know that it's not the caliber of the gun that matters but the accuracy they will be able to have and their ability to control it. For some women a .45 is nothing but for others a .22 will be plenty.

The comfort of the weapon is important too. I have larger palms for a woman and I can be picky about how it feels in my hands. I prefer a lot of S&W's for this reason.

Make sure the basics are gone through prior to getting to the range. Loading the weapon, safety, how to hold it, how to use the sights, how to stand, and what to do when all shots have been fired. Sometimes not knowing the little things can be intimidating.

I think the most important thing is to make it fun. Music, targets, gear, pictures can all be good for making the day.
