Welcome to the "Amateurs and Experts" podcast, where hosts Erica Chin and Jessica Adanich explore the world of shooting, hunting, and fishing. In this episode, recorded at Shot Show 2024, they sit down with Deb Ferns and Kay Miculek, the remarkable women behind Babes with Bullets. Kay's initiative to gather female shooters for training and Deb’s enthusiasm to share the learning experience evolved into the renowned Babes with Bullets camps, offering transformative experiences for women of all skill levels. Anecdotes highlight the transformative power of effective instruction in helping women overcome fear and develop proficiency in shooting sports. Attendees left Babes with Bullets camps not only as skilled shooters but as confident, empowered individuals ready to tackle any challenge. They acknowledged invaluable companies like Fiocchi and Mossberg, who helped make their ventures affordable for women to join them. The journey of Babes with Bullets, from its humble beginnings to its profound impact on women in shooting sports, is a testament to the dedication and passion of Deb Ferns and Kay Miculek. Aspiring shooters are encouraged to dive into the world of shooting sports and outdoor activities, knowing they have a supportive community and resources like the "Amateurs and Experts" podcast and Women's Outdoor Media Association to guide them every step of the way.
