It’s official, we’re working on a Women of Calguns calendar!
It will be a CGN fundraiser, and we’re trying to see if we can make this happen in time for the Christmas buying season… SOOOoooo…. This is a call for women associated with Calguns who want to participate! Here’s what we’re looking for: Looking for a Few - Women who are either Calguns members, or directly related to Calguns members… that means wives, mothers, girlfriends, daughters, sisters… Existing Photos: - Photos you may already have that are Calendar Worthy… some work can be done on photos if they’re not perfect, but basically any photo must be interesting, engaging, good quality photography and (if electronic) of sufficient resolution to be printable at full-sheet calendar size. Photo Shoots: - If you are interested in participating in a photo shoot, we will be doing some. No details are available yet, but this is a short-schedule project so they’ll be soon. You do not need to be a swimsuit model to be in the calendar, so if you have questions contact me. Photographers: - We are looking for a couple of pro or semi-pro photographers to participate in this project as well. The FAQ: - This is not a nudes-with-guns calendar so you can keep your clothes on. - Yes, we are looking for women who will photograph well shooting, but you do not have to be a swimsuit model or under 25 to participate. - Yes you will have approval/reject rights over photos - we won’t publish anything you’re not satisfied with. - This is a fundraiser, so there’s really no budget, we’re all volunteering here to create an excellent calendar that will help raise funds for CGN. If you have a photo to submit or are interested in participating, PM me and we’ll go from there. Megan

WOW! Tons of interest! I happened to be blessed with a terribly beautiful family! Not to mention a Beautiful girlfriend. I might be able to work some magic. Maybe even get a couple friends to help out.

ok, I'd even buy one of the guys in drag... but it's because I'm SUCH a supporter. on the other hand, it might actually be fun... been thinking about that very point>>> need more women plans: 1) get 'em on calendars 2) I'm working on the "new women shooters tip sheet" 3) I'm working on the "how to get womeon to go shooting tip sheet" 4) Sponsor some events like the on-target group does... focused on new women shooters and each one gets a coach of her own 5) Sponsor some family focused shoot-n-ques 6) develop info/tip sheets/laws on home-defense/self-defense for women 7) 2 'take a new shooter' months a year with some sort of perc to the calguns member (a pin, a patch, a refrigerator magnet) for participating and a small prize for most new members signed up, most new shooters introduced... 8) same as 7 but focused on 'take a new woman shooter' 9) need some speakers - calguns women who can go to women's groups and speak on guns for self-defense, fun, and who are really prepared to discuss the objections women have that are female-typical 10) vendor outreach to our ranges and vendors to include special info for women customers, and to supply how-to-recruit-women-to-the-sport info to their male customers 11) outreach to ranges on how to recruit/accomodate women shooters better iron sights used to have a women's night (they're a female-owned range) until a gay male couple of professional law-suit-filers went after them for discrimination and ruined it for everyone. talking to them about it the other night, it was their busiest night, and they still have a lot of women shooters in there. but maybe we can help offer strategies to these places that don't get them tangled up in discrimination suits and still draw the women to shoot. ... maybe we should move this women's outreach to a new thread? megan

cool that you can see the smoke... you'll want to watch the details in frame (pepsi can) and maybe try several angles to see what looks best. keep an eye on sun angle too. looking forward to seeing what you come up with... and we'll be putting together some photoshoots here shortly, I'll put you on the list for those as well. megan

For the calendar shoot, maybe you can undo the top two snaps and show a little cleavage?

If any female wants a photo shoot with cannons in it, I might be able to arrange something on Nov 7-8 in Moorpark. We'ld have to arrange it ASAP though. I might even be able to get a horse or two, wagons, small arms from the War of Northern Agression, etc. It's just a thought.

It would be in Moorpark, between Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks. We have had re-enactors come from as far as Scotland (and Virginia in the Cont. US) so, an hour isn't too far.

I kind of understand the problem here. I was a junior small bore coach for the California Cadet Corps. BTW, the girls are much easyer to coach than the boys because they don't think they are born with a "John Wayne" (God love him) gene.
Another thing I learned was that you can't coach your own kid. There is just to much interpersonal baggage. My son won the state championship, but not with me coaching him. If your wife, daughter, or girlfriend wants some outside instruction get the hell out of the way and let her get it!

Amen to that. Story of my life too... I wanted to get my ex's approval so badly that I was shooting six days a week to catch up to the other guys on the line. When I started to outshoot him at the Nationals, I thought he'd be thrilled that I was doing well because of his coaching (which I have now come to realize to be criticism.) Fortunately, my current guy gives me plenty of room to blow up stuff and just asks that I remember to buy him a donut

Interesting - since the wife and I are constantly in LA or in San Jose, this would be fun for her.
Moorpark is great, reminds me gotta take the kids to Reagan Library in Simi Valley... Beautiful out there. -M3

Megan the one on my avitar is me and I have another one that I can either email you or post on here if you would like. I would do a photo shoot one as long as its no where near swimsuit type since that would definately scare all the men of calguns and worldwide.
I gave you my phone number give me a call if you want to talk more about it
