    Bay Area Women - Check in here

    Ladies,

    It seems like we're developing a group of women in various parts of the San Francisco Bay Area who want to shoot together.

    Please check in here, so you can find each other? It will help me make a case for getting the Bay Area its own official CGN Chapter.

    Please say where you are, like East Bay, Peninsula, Marin, San Jose area, just a general idea so people know who is near them.

              Hi all! I've been shooting about ten years, mostly pistol and shotgun--just getting into carbines and rifles as of late. Shoot mostly at Los Altos Rod and Gun or Reeds. Live in central San Mateo County.

                Hi,

                I just registered and I'm located in Cupertino, CA.

                I am a beginner and hope everyone is patient with me.

                I am a quick learner so no worries.

                Cheers!

                  I'm looking to buy a pistol for starters. Not sure what I want yet though.

                    hi, Kristen and Maggs!

                    Kristen, I use the los altos range the most but mostly for pistols.

                    Maggs, there's lots of info here in the Ladies Forum [and elsewhere on calguns] re pistols and "starting". many will suggest taking a class. and all will say handle and shoot as many as you can prior to buying.

                    also, checkout corneredcat.com
                    some of the best info for women by a woman!

                      Not a female but was at Los Altos this past Sunday. I was pleasantly surprised to see quite a few female shooters. Some were with their SO's or parents and some with their girlfriends (or sister, couldn't tell). Even saw a solo female shooter. Pure awesome!
                      Hope for the best, expect the worse... Does that make me an optimistic pessimist?!

                        I'm in Santa Clara/Cupertino and very interested in a women's shooting group. I've been talking to The Well Armed Woman and have hooked up with at least four other women here in the South Bay who are also interested. Lets get something going! There is a group in Sacramento that we could have tournaments with, which would be fun once the newbies get trained.

                            I live in the Central valley and commuting long distances is out for me. Is there anyone who lives around the Tracy/Modesto area?
                            If so, I would be interested in meeting down in this area.

                            A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie.

                              welcome, littleoldlady!

                              OHOD recently moved to Manteca but she hasn't been participating on calguns hardly at all since them move!

                              you might check with these folks: http://www.mantecasportsmen.com/dev/

                              they have programs specifically for women and you might meet a shooting friend there.
