Our Vision

News from our President


The Arizona Women Shooting Associates shared with the NRA what its all about in March 2011. Know a lady interested, have her join us on a Wed night! Click Here for the full story.
Note from President A New Year is upon us and we are striving to continue to give women's education in the shooting sports every thing we have to offer.
Consider this, for $30 a year you’re supporting a women’s organization, taught by women with experience. We have all spent hundreds and thousands of dollars developing our classes to educate you for such a small investment. Your thirty dollars helps us maintain insurance and some of our operating expenses. In a time of economic challenges we all want our money to go to good use. Membership in the Arizona Women’s Shooting Associates is money well spent when you consider where your money goes. So if you’re looking for quality education and stretching the dollar, look no further. Come and join us, learn to shoot safely and have fun too. Happy New Year and God Bless, Carol Ruh President

	OUR VISION Arizona Women's Shooting Associates was formed by women to support and encourage other women, families and friends to become involved in the shooting sports. Ladies of Arizona come join us! We welcome beginners, and women that shoot already and want to join other women. You'll catch the "bug", have a great time, enjoy the comradery and the great outdoors.

Women Teaching Women

AWSA teaches everyday shooting scenarios in a professional environment. Striving to meet these needs by giving you the skills on how and when to defend yourself is our goal. By having everyone participate in demonstrations keeps the student very involved, and in turn the student will teach another student to reinforce their learning process

AWSA teaches with repeated drills to create muscle memory to help in the defense process. Knowing the condition of your gun at all times is strictly enforced by the safety rules. The student will become aware that this is not only a fun sport, but also a thinking sport. Learning to plan their shots for competition and knowing when to reload for example.

AWSA is a ladies group on the move. They might be sitting, kneeling, prone, standing or running. To get you to this point is our goal, and having fun doing it.

All instructors are NRA certified a combined 30 years of firearm instruction.

News from our President

GUN HUSBAND

My name is Pete also known as Mr. Carol. That’s right, I’m Carol’s husband. Most of you know me as the guy who totally supports his wife in the gun world. I would like you to know a little bit of behind the scenes that none of you know about.

First let me tell you that I am the luckiest guy in the world. What man would not like to go to a gun show and have his wife by his side and be just as excited as he is when he is looking at all the guns? And what man would not love it when he says to his wife ‘ what do you think about this gun?” She answers with “I think you should buy it!”

The one thing that I hate is when we go to the range and she out shoots me with that new gun. The worst part is the ride home and she says to me “would you like me to tell you what you did wrong?”

My most rewarding part of having Carol as my wife is seeing the difference my wife has made teaching so many women to shoot. Her way of teaching is so much different than anything I have ever seen. I know that this comes from really caring for the ladies she teaches. She can put herself in their position and can make them feel comfortable with that gun in their hand. I have never seen her get frustrated with anyone, well maybe me one in a while.

Ladies if you are looking for a unique teacher, come out and meet Carol. As far as I’m concerned she is the best.

Gun Wife and Gun Husband

GUN WIFE

Now that you have read my husband’s report card on me, it’s my turn. Having been married to Pete for almost 37 years in October, I think I know him now. We also think that the marriage will work out too.

Several years ago while on the way to a gun show in Phoenix, we discussed the fact that we were NOT going to buy any guns. Everything was fine when we got there, and for some reason we got separated.

While I was looking at one table I discovered a Winchester 1897 pump shotgun that I needed for my Cowboy Action Shooting. Pete had his, but I wanted one for myself. I asked how much, and the price could not be beat for the condition was mighty fine. Normally we discuss everything but I couldn’t find him, so I had to make a decision. Well I figured if I said we couldn’t buy anything, then I guess I could break my own rule.

When he finally found me I had the shotgun over my shoulder. The look on his face was priceless. “I thought you said we were not buying anything today”? The laugher started and we continued to enjoy the show together. I think he was afraid to leave me alone again.

My husband has been by my side for all the exciting times putting AWSA together, helped out when needed, even if it was “go for” this and that. He is my rock and support, and encourages me all the way. His sense of humor is uplifting when I need it most, and to all the ladies at AWSA.

The stories are endless with my husband, but know this,
I LOVE THIS MAN!

Carol
