I shot with Natalie at a class last weekend, she is a legit shooter and genuinely awesome young woman! Appreciate what you are doing on the new channel- Keep it up!
Great job young lady! 95% of the people who go into the gun store/range are awesome! Don't let that 5% burn you out! I worked at a gun store/range for years and the worst review I ever got was from another woman. After I no longer worked there I met her, she hates guns and had never even steped foot into the store/range that I had worked at but she prides herself in finding women who "dare to work in such places insted of staying home" and doing everything that she can to get them fired or harass them so much that they quit. People can be really mean and it has nothing to do with you or anything that you do. Keep your head up and know that there are a LOT of women and men that support you! :)
John with every video my respect towards you grows, you are a good man looking out for the good people and families, God bless you John. Take care and cover your ASP.
There are A LOT of women who can out shoot a man. It’s all about practicing, training, and getting comfortable with your firearm. Keep up the good work Natalie!
2:45 That smile from our Monkey! "This is my niece with whom I am much pleased." John, you're good at affirmation. Romeo Mike, you're just plain good. (Let me make sure to never cross you, I don't need any holes for which God didn't fit me.) I can't effectively articulate how much I appreciate this series. It's not exclusively the lessons or the drills; Instead, it's the totality of attitude and purpose. I'm not brave enough to show my range time to a few million of our closest friends. Again, thank you!
Really cool to see you guys training together and yeah I agree - the majority of responsible shooters I see and interact with tend to have really good morals / ethics etc and a mutual respect for other enthusiasts and tend to treat others as equals. I love this.
Competency definitely shuts people up. You wouldn't believe how fast the old dude in all his Marine corp paraphernalia at the Appleseed shoot stopped talking to my wife when she shot marksman her second try.
Love these! Keep up the great work John and Range Monkey....funny thing...had my headphones on while this was running....totally heard Steph! LOL. She sounds just like her mom!
She is so mature, intelligent, kind hearted, polite, and a better handgunner than a lot, or most, of the people I see on the range. The vast majority of the people I shoot with do not tolerate any inappropriate treatment of anyone for anything.
Super valid points, John. I couldn’t agree more. It’s so great to see young people join the firearms community. It’s unfortunate that anyone would have to face any inequalities due to race, gender, size, age or appearance. It’s good you are willing to address those things and take her under your wing. She’ll be a better shooter and a stronger person for it. Always love your vids, man.
Love the videos, I'm glad most people have been civil. It's nice having some diversity on RUclips with firearms content. The videos showing scantily clad women shooting rapid fire on RUclips do nothing to advance the firearms community or stereotypes that some have of it.
I’m sure everyone here as met people like this but that condescending, arrogant attitude is terrible for the 2A community and any community for that matter. I really follow John’s advice “You won’t be at my gun fight, and I won’t be at yours.” I think too many people give advice when they don’t know what they’re talking about, and can’t handle it when someone disagrees with them. Also, sexual harassment is terrible and should be shut down in any setting. As good, sane, sober, moral, prudent protectors (because that’s why we’re here) our biggest fights are the fight before the fight, and sexual harassment and belittling of women in male dominated sports is something I see quite often and personally cannot stand.
Word of caution to those shooting with V cut shirt necks. Hot brass loves lo bounce off the lane partitions and finds a way to nestle in whatever nooks and crannies it can find. I know from experience. Same caution applies to footwear. I've also seen folks wearing open toed shoes catch one right between the piggies and doing the hot brass dance with a loaded firearm.
Way to go Natalie! Great to hear your experience has been mostly good so far. I am very curious, have you had an opportunity to meet Beth Walker(@3gunbeth)??? She seems to be an outstanding example for all of us as responsible firearms owners and carriers..... and of course a very high level competitive shooter. 😁 Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Randy
To be fair, religion doesn't have much to do with it (I'm not trying to have a theological debate here). I'm an Atheist and hold the position that everyone should be treated with respect until they demonstrate otherwise. If I has suspicions that someone I'm deferring to is less familiar with the topic than myself, I'd lead with a question I already know the answer to, but that someone who isn't familiar with the topic at all would not know the answer to. Not philosophically significant, but not surface level knowledge either. Hell, often, even if they understand it less, the way they explain what they *do* understand can help how I think about certain concepts. It's another Avenue to the same destination; there's different scenery and landmarks, but the final location is the same. This can be indispensable to not only honing your ability to articulate the concept while teaching, but may serve to make connections that deepen your understanding of the concepts at hand as well.
I really appreciate this video and it was something I needed to see. I knew there was a reason I was drawn to your channel from the start John. My name is also John. You are right. Our society is pornographic and depraved. Hence the niche for your line of work. Are you also based out of South Dakota John? I would like to be referred to some classes. Im a few hours north in ND.
@@ASPextra I am going law enforcement within the year and the army only ever trained me on an AR so I want to be as proficient with handguns as I am with the rifle.
@@ASPextra sounds pretty great. Also looking to attend bullets and bibles. I been watching all of your videos and commenting and liking trying to support. I would like to become a certified instructor as well. Thanks and God bless!
She is doing great keep it up! you shouldn't have to deal with any of that bull! It is on us to give everyone respect and i can see how women could get real nervous and it is on us to accept everyone and make them comfortable!!! Any kind of gun control is radically racist!!!!!!
"bearers of the image of god" really strikes home with me. I've never heard it expressed in such a manner before. Thank you.
Straight from scripture.

I love this.
Her hair is fire. Legitimately looks like fire👍🏻
Awesome! I live in Sioux Falls and love Alliance! Glad to have you at the range 😁
Keep em comin. Thanks ASP
Hey John, looks like you have lost some weight man! Good for you. Thanks for what you do.
Competency definitely shuts people up. You wouldn't believe how fast the old dude in all his Marine corp paraphernalia at the Appleseed shoot stopped talking to my wife when she shot marksman her second try.
Good stuff! Be proud young lady! Keep it up and stay on target!👍 Us ASP'ers have your back!🤙
Watching Natalie's growth and progress has been a absolute pleasure. Not to mention increasing my wife's interest in training👍👏💥
Great video enjoy your sessions a great deal and has helped me as well!!! Keep it up!!!
A gun range with a restaurant and a concert venue?! How have I not heard about that place?
Right?
Love these! Keep up the great work John and Range Monkey....funny thing...had my headphones on while this was running....totally heard Steph! LOL. She sounds just like her mom!
Awesome seeing women in the industry! Every women should take self defense classes and learn their way around a firearm
I love The Alliance, wish I could get back up there and do some shooting and the food in the restaurant is pretty tasty
preach brother! and, good for her! Love it.
I love the Range Monkey Saga!
She is so mature, intelligent, kind hearted, polite, and a better handgunner than a lot, or most, of the people I see on the range. The vast majority of the people I shoot with do not tolerate any inappropriate treatment of anyone for anything.

Don't pat the monkey that has a sub 2 second draw to first shot
I think most of us gun owners 2 A people mostly a nice respectful people
I believe most people in general are. It's always the few that ruins it for the group.
God, family, country. Love the vids at the range john!
🙌 /hurray awesome vids thanks so much for the chronicles

Lost the kitty ears 😂😿
She's using them.
Great video! Break the shell of what normal firearm owners are like. Some of the most badass range members I've seen at my range are women.
Let her get on that AR, man!
Easy big fella.
The Range Monkey should get with Autumn of Autumn's Armory (she's 8) for a powerhouse video: ruclips.net/user/AutumnsArmory556videos

What is her carry gun/guns?
She's carrying a LTT Beretta PX4 Compact Carry.
@@ASPextra Good choice. 9 mm
Your pronunciation was very close. Toot sweet. I like seeing women in the industry. I wish my former girlfriend liked guns.
"Tout de suite" is French for "right away" [Insert NBC The More You Know music]
She flies to PHX from South Dakota every freakin week for these?!!
Not EVERY week...

Nope but Nat’s mom and dad are and they’re amazing and will meet you in Sioux Falls to train.
