Just thought I'd share this, since it's been forever since I've posted a good update on the UTRPC (Rifle & Pistol Club). We're the on-campus gun range at UT Austin.
Second Amendment Sisters is coming out to teach a woman-oriented gun safety class in a week. Our club is currently only 20% female, so we're looking to balance out our demographic. All the women who have come to shoot have had a great time, but many say that other women are apprehensive about trying a "guy thing".
Here's the second draft of our flier. We're going to tighten up the writing in the middle, and move to a less distressed font in the lower part. Photo is Oleg's (used with his permission), arrangment done by one of our female shooters who's a freshman in Advertising.
We're pretty stoked about this event. Now, to figure out how many flyers to print out to net us 42 students per class. I'm thinking 300 handouts =42 students, and we can make a email list to contact those turned away for future classes. Our first "Gun Safety" class was 150 handouts = 45 students, so we'll see. Not sure if the cultural taboo will keep female shooters away, or whether breaking that taboo will bring us tons more recruits.
In retrospect, I should probably have gone into the Public Affairs MOS, instead of an all-male Artilery unit. My marketing skills are a work in progress.
