Inspirational shooting posters for young girl?

Post by melchloboo »

So my daughter has a few years before her first rifle or pistol, but the wife says its ok to put some women's shooting posters in her room.

I'm not talking a girl in daisy-dukes and an uzi...I mean female shooting athletes.

Does anyone know where I could find posters of olympic women shooters/teams? At my club they have an old USA shooting poster, but nobody knows where it came from. I have seen some collegiate teams have female rifle team posters, but I can't find any olympic or nationals.

Thanks.

See:

and

Nancy Johnson, Olympic Gold medal winner did a poster that I don't think is still available but you might be able to find one. Pilkguns used to sell them.

Otherwise I was going to just photoshop a collage of random pictures off the net for a poster....

Contact USA Shooting. They have to have something. I know the editor, Mary Beth Vorwerk, has thousands of pictures that would make great posters.

I think that Mary has moved onto a new job. If you call Nichole Rae at USA Shooting they a number posters that you can choose from. They are mostly group photos of the last Olympic medal winners.

Munki (Munkhbayar Dorjsuren) did a very instructive sport pistol poster (comparable to the above rifle lady, but a bit clearer designed and printed), and one Peruvian pistolera, Mariana Quintanilla, has a supremely elegant and VERY inspiring website:

She didn't work in her previous one. That email inquiries can be answered was an absolutely unknown concept to her. Glad to hear she is gone for good now.

Alexander, since you seem to have had a lot of problems with geting any response to USA Shooting e-mails from any of them, did you ever consider that maybe the problem is not them, but something in your e-mail, perhaps triggering a spam block or something?
