young belly. She earned her
kill that day; performing the
challenging list of bowhunter
demands to put a razor-sharp
Magnus Stinger clean through
the vitals of the gnarly beast.
She went on to bowkill a
handsome wild ram as well, and
when my daughter Sasha and I
visited with her and her family,
we knew we had us a powerfully
positive young woman. Girls
don’t bowhunt? Girls don’t want
to crawl through the forest and
kill wild boars? Girls don’t like
archery? Bullpork. Girls just
wanna have fun, and more and
more of them are coming to the
exciting revelation that there is
nothing more fun than hunting,
fi shing, trapping and shooting.
Unleash the SheBeast. The Spirit
of the Wild is her playground.
Sasha and I were still
smiling and talking about our
happy encounter with Brook as we
headed to the Nugent gun range
for a little lead and gunpowder
partying of our own. Sasha
killed her fi rst Texas whitetail
with a rifl e way back in 1981
when she was just eight years
old. She has always enjoyed
shooting and our precious time
together in the great outdoors.
Today, she would practice with

a Glock 10mm handgun, just to be
sure she knew how to properly
operate this particular gun. Sasha
is a crackshot with most fi rearms
and, in fact, quite handy with
various full auto machineguns and
sniper rifl es. Shooting with both
Trijicon open sights and Crimson
Trace Laser sights, she was banging
the steel plates like a commando
pro in short time. We fi lmed her
loading magazines, operating the
various functions, and getting the
hang of the overall feel of this fi ne
Austrian pistol. She was rocking
and having a grand old time with
her dad.
Likewise, my Queen of
the Forest herself, Shemane, had
picked up on the thrills and joys
of the shooting sports in no time.
She had never fi red a gun or
bow when we fi rst met, but saw
the glowing joys that Tribe Nuge
got out of every session and was
Moose seeking refuge from the deep snow – Colorado DWR
quick to discover the disciplined
shootist within. She has gone
on to introduce many gals to
fi rearms and archery and she
has bowkilled many big game
animals in America and Africa.
Loving the sport has driven her
to become a leading force in
the recruitment of women into
the shooting sports worldwide.
That’s how ya’ do it.
Never underestimate
the fact that, introduced
thoughtfully and properly,
women immediately fall in love
with guns, hunting and the
outdoor lifestyle. Not only
do they make the greatest
hunting and shooting partners
in the world, they demonstrate
a powerful believability to
everyone about how dishonest
the media propaganda machine
is in misrepresenting these
things we all love so much.
Nothing says pro-gun and
pro-hunting like an army of
female participants, voters, and
activists. Many are convinced
that the positive future of gun
rights and conservation will be
determined by how many women
we get to see the importance
of these self-evident truths.
Target the women in your life
and let’s create a team of female
commandos to once and for all
crush those who would deny
us these wonderful pursuits of
happiness in America. Let the
women do the talking and the
shooting.
