Another thing to look into at Red's is the Austin Sure Shots. That's how I get in my shooting. They alternate between North and South on Wednesdays from 6 to 9. This week was north, so next week will be south. There's a Facebook page so you can find the specific dates, or shoot me a message. To join she'd just need to show up and go through a safety orientation, no fees or obligations. They'll offer further basic instruction if she needs it. Sure Shots get the ladies rate on Wednesday nights, and we get the first five lanes (at least up north; I assume south is similar). It's not usually too crowded in our area, and we just take turns and everything's real friendly. In fact, if she's wanting to try something they don't have as a rental, she can ask around and if anyone has it they'll be happy to help. A lot of times there's also a one-hour class from 8 to 9 on basic subjects... awareness, gun cleaning, that sort of thing.

It's a bit of a drive, so if she's looking to try something specific that's not on the rental list, maybe let me know what she's looking for and I can ask around for her before she comes? I'd be happy to help if I can.
