DIVA gear

Posted 9:30am on Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2010

Protective eyewear: They don't wear sunglasses for fun. Tinted or prescription glasses are used to help protect eyes from flying objects and particles.

Firearms: DIVAs also carry their own firearms and have a solid safety rule -- never assume you know how to shoot another woman's gun. Like a new husband, you have to adjust to a gun's quirks and feel.

Earplugs: Experienced shooters usually have their own headsets to protect their ears. Firing your own gun is loud, but line up a bunch of women and add the echo of shooters down the range, and it's deafening.

Paper targets: Most ranges provide targets, but you should have extra ones and a stapler or tacks to hold the target in place.

Spotting scope: If you want to improve your aim, a spotting scope will help you see where your bullets are hitting the target.

Conservative clothes: High-necked, tight T-shirts or long-sleeve shirts help keep flying debris from making its way down your neckline or into a pocket.
