NO MORE BRUISES

I’ve shot shotguns my whole life. First my dads, then my husbands. We had a clay thrower growing up and I thought it was a pretty fun activity. After shooting 10 or 20 times though I would be banged up and bruised. I thought it was just part of it. WRONG!! When I was invited to shoot with the gals of Passionate Outlaws I had reservations because the thought of shooting more than a couple rounds seemed daunting. Tracy got me fitted for an amazing Syren semi-automatic that has been a great. I have so much pride shooting MY beautiful gun. My #1 piece of advice is: gun fit matters. Thanks to Tracy I can actually enjoy shooting and continue to grow my skills and knowledge about the sport of trap shooting and shotguns in general. ~Meggie Sims

SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING

I wasn't sure what to expect; all my shotgun experiences have been through the lens of the men in my life - my dad, my brother and then my husband - both shooting and purchasing. It has been one of those things - I enjoy it enough to do it, but it has always felt like I was putting on a shoe that wasn't quite my size. This all changed when I met (begrudingly) with Tracy. She showed me the guns, she tested my dominant eye, checked my sizing, etc. And put me in a left-handed shotgun. I am right-handed, I have shot righty all my life, and this just blew my mind. I could tell right away this was a change that needed to happen - immediately, I was more comfortable mounting and sighting. It took a few times to really get used to it, which was frustrating at first. But now, I am shooting better than I ever had as a righty. Tracy really knows what she is doing, knows what to look for, and will get you in a gun that fits you, personally and perfectly! ~Erin Brotherton

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER

Troy and Tracy provided the most incredible experience for my wife and I when we went to try some new shotguns! They take you through the process from beginning to end. Never in my life have I ever purchased a firearm and had the experience they provided! Highly recommend them to everyone! Dave

KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL

I am so thankful to know Peggy and be able to buy a shotgun from her. She was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in helping me determine what shotgun would be the best for me. I am so in love with my Syren! I will recommend her to any woman looking to buy a gun that’s designed for a woman! ~Jacque Johnson

GUNS NEVER FIT MY SMALL FRAME

"I recently began trap shooting and really enjoyed it so much that I wanted to buy my own shotgun. Most of the guns I’d shot never fit really well since they were not designed for women in mind. I was delighted to have found Peggy Houchin, who allowed me to demo a handful of Syren shotguns, specifically designed for women. Peggy made the process fun and easy by describing the features of each and having me shoot each one to see which I liked best. Almost immediately, I found the shotgun that fit my small frame like a glove. Peggy knows her products well, and there was never any pressure to buy. I really enjoyed my experience purchasing my shotgun from Peggy and would highly recommend her to any woman looking to buy a beautiful Syren that they’ll love for years to come.” ~Deidre

NEW TO SHOOTING

"I am new to shooting a shotgun. I didn't get into it sooner because I had only tried shotguns that didn't really fit me and was overwhelmed with all the choices out there. There was not really a great opportunity to test out ones that didn't need to be modified to fit me. I was so grateful that Peggy Houchin introduced me to Syren. I had a wonderful experience on multiple occasions demoing different options to see which style I liked shooting the best. I was impressed with all the Syrens I tried out. I chose the Syren Elos N2 Elevate and I love shooting it! It was a great fit right out of the box and with that out of the way I can focus on my targets." - Suzanne P.
