My name is Samantha Sharpe. I’m from Merced, California and I am a university student. I’m here at Front Sight to learn self-defense. I’ve always loved shooting guns and I thought I’d better get proper training. I’m here with my family, my Mom (name I can’t hear), my Dad Cliff, my little brother Kaiden, my husband Cooper, good family friends, Jimmy and Josh and my cousin, Nate.

It’s the end of Day 1, it’s been a wonderful day. It was an exhilerating feeling when I had that first shot. I’m excited for tomorrow to learn more tactical things, to have better body position and to be able to shoot better.
