Miculek is a several time national and world handgun champion as are the  other female instructors assisting her at the camps. \u201cThis is an  unusual training opportunity\u201d stated Miculek \u201cwith all female handgun  champions picked for their abilities to work with novice women in a way  that is empowering without being overpowering.\u201d According to Miculek  many of the campers will shoot a gun for the first time and after  completing the three day program they will have shot hundreds of rounds  from various calibers of handguns. Miculek added, \u201cEach woman will leave  from this camp with a new life skill. Our emphasis is to show the  ladies that shooting is a safe, enjoyable, and rewarding sport for women  of all ages.\u201d She also noted that many of the camps have additional  training for women experienced in firearms and for the first time in  November 2010 there will be an AR-15 training camp.<\/p>\n<p>Cost for the camps is discounted through the sponsorship of Smith  &amp; Wesson. They also supply \u201cloaner\u201d equipment for women who do not  own their own handgun.
