Courtesy: Taryn Hecker, Inlander Taryn Hecker learns to shoot a shotgun as part of an Inlander assignment.
The frost has just barely melted off the grass and the gray-haired men sitting at the counter drinking coffee and eating donuts look a little surprised to see a crowd of women gathering at the Coeur d'Alene Skeet and Trap Club. It's Ladies' Weekend, and the four of us women were recipients of a mass e-mail invite that promised free shotgun lessons. I'm here not because I care much about knowing how to shoot. I just want to learn how to hold a shotgun. That way if I ever need to step out on my front porch with a shotgun — picture Renee Zellweger in Cold Mountain — I'll at least look like I know how to use it/Taryn Hecker, Inlander. More here.
Question: Do you know how to handle shotgun?
