One day last summer I was teaching archery at a women's class. This lady walked in n was determined to be good at it. First day we only use string bows but she cheated n came to an open shoot the next day where we let new students shoot to see if they like it.
GlockGirl came w sore shoulders from practicing all night w her string but shot the bows decently.

At first she was just a student but once she started w her anti Hillary rant I instantly liked her.
Time progressed n she became a good shot all the while concentrating on getting it right. Pretty commendable the determination.
Near the end of class she mentioned wanting to hunt. We had a week or so before hunter ed n she didn't even have a bow yet. She got one, I helped her along n she passed the accuracy portion with flying colors. Outshot just about everyone if I recall.
At the end of classes she volunteered to help teach archery. She gets it n would be a great asset so she got certified. She volunteered as a hunter ed instructor n was fantastic.
She's also a Glock armourer n a dog trainer. Yea I know Glock yuck!

This season we had some great hunts n great times. GlockGirl is a great student and fantastic person n friend. She's done some really nice things n they'll never be forgotten.

She recently lost her shop and this week found work in Oklahoma. God bless her but it seems I won't get to call her first bird. She was very passionate about hunting. I hope she finds someone out there to keep pointing her in the right direction, she's learned so much n I hope she continues. If anyone knows an area near Broken Arrow Oklahoma that has decent hunting maybe you can pm her with some direction.

Thanks bowguy! I will take everything you taught me to Oklahoma and you will be the first one to hear of my first successful hunt!! I was blessed to have such an amazing mentor and friend.

You'll need to go west...near I-35 and beyond to get into good turkey population. There's also a good population north of you in Osage County. The birds in SE Oklahoma never have recovered, there are birds there, but nothing like they were.
