Attendees of the Inaugural Ladies day!
All,
The Tri-City Ladies Defensive Training Day that the club hosted on May 7, 2022 was a huge hit. The event had originally sold out within the first 30 days of registration opening and we then set up a waitlist due to the demand. We did have a couple last minute cancellations but ended up with a total of 54 women in attendance out of the 60 slots. This event included 4 training blocks throughout the day and included lunch from Rays BBQ. The training blocks for the ladies included defensive handgun, home defense shotgun, pepper spray, and a holster clinic at the end. The ladies really enjoyed the all of the hands on training, explanations from the instructors, and especially the scenarios for the managing unknown/unwanted contacts portion. We have had a ton of positive feedback from the women that said that the trainers were very professional, and they are very eager to have us put another event together with more training options. Overall, I think the club made a great decision in offering this type of training to our community. I did hear several of the ladies saying that they learned more at this event than they had in years at other events. That is HUGE in my book, especially with as many events and training seminars I attend every year. We were lucky to get some drone footage as well at professional photography that can help us promote more events in the future. Additionally, we had several door prizes donated which that included $1000 worth of gift certificates from Hunters HD Gold, an AR-Lower from Cold Hand Arms, $100 gift certificates from Flashbang Holster Company and Keepers Concealment Holsters, Colt hats were provided by Shoot Like a Girl, ammo from Choctaw Archery & Guns, targets & inert water-based POM spray was provided by TCGC, we also had a local donate some very nice Harley Davidson safety glasses and ear protection, and lastly several of our instructors in attendance donated a handful of classes and private lessons.
I do want to extend my sincere thanks to Tara, the volunteers and staff at TCGC. I know Tara and I put in countless hours and we had a lot of lots late night conversations trying to get all of this put together in such a short amount of time. I think overall that we did a phenomenal job!! The TCGC staff and volunteers played a big role in this event being successful as well and I do appreciate their time and willingness to help. I hope to help make this event even better next year!!
Sincerely,
Jamie Meyer
