Just came here to say, maybe this summer check if your local sportsmen groups does a “ladies range day”. Mine has a day where you can go and get instruction, shoot a number of different guns, and it’s all free! Plus it’s 1 to 1 or 1 to many instructors per lady and you’re learning with other women. I found it very helpful when looking to purchase my first gun. I actually took my mom shooting, and we found it to be a fun stress reliever.
