Christina,

Luckily you live in the great state of Virginia, where your hunting/shooting rights are protected by the State constitution.

I'm not sure what part of the state you are from, but the following course sounds like it's exactly what you're looking for:

Womans Instructional Shooting Clinic. Includes rifle, pistol, shotgun, muzzleloader and the Refuse to be a victim class. To be held on April 30th in Centreville, VA (which I think is near Arlington/Fairfax). Call Katie Biggs @ 703-719-6165 for info. This class is sponsered by the NRA and is for women only.

I hope this helps.
Take care, George
