WHY WOMEN SHOOT

SHE CAN SHOOT, LLC is featuring a series,  "Why Women Shoot." 





SHE CAN SHOOT would like to feature Olga Diana in our "Why Women Shoot" series.
Olga Diana joined the Northern VA chapter, SHE CAN SHOOT: The Shooting Divas in 2011. Along with her beauty and melodic accent, she also brought some previous shooting experience to the group. Since joining SHE CAN SHOOT, Olga feels that she has gained more experience and confidence leading her to consider becoming a future firearms instructor.

Why does Olga Diana shoot? She admits that one of her personality traits is having a strong personality. This trait is what sparked her desire to become interested in shooting. "Years ago, shooting was considered more of a man's thing to do, and I wanted to prove to myself that I can be as good as anyone else," states Olga. As a result, Olga feels that not only did she become a good shooter, she discovered that this was also a catalyst in "building self-control and confidence because you have to coordinate the control of your mind and body in order to focus." "The amount of focus that is necessary can also be applied to your goals in life to allow achievement."

Today, Olga applies that accomplished focus and confidence to a jewelry business, Brenap Jewelry, which she owns. Now rather than doing the occasional bi-weekly skydiving escapades that was once enjoyed, Olga gets her adrenaline rush at the range, but that follows after her zen moments as she shoots,

Her message: "Understanding that guns don't kill people, people kill people; if we all have the education and a better understanding of this fact, while treating firearms with respect, this world would be a safer place for us and our children."
