Has being part of LSS opened up opportunities for you? GLORIA HOFFMAN

LISA LYONS I would say the biggest for me so far was having table space at FEGA in Las Vegas this year, 2023. It pushed me to get out of my comfort zone by putting my work on display for others to see. It opens up conversations and helps creatively. And will push me to do better and have more for next year. LESLIE LAMBERTH Being part of this group has opened the door to the best teachers in the engraving world! I have become friends with some of the most well- known engravers out there. They are so giving of their knowledge and their kindness is beyond imagination. I always felt I had to be good enough to take classes with these instructors. Every one of them is now my friend. It is simply amazing how close we all are. The door has been opened to our talent because of the groups continued hunger for learning. I am honored to be part of this community! PAULA LYON It has opened up so many valued and treasured friendships. Something money can never buy.

It has been an opportunity for me to meet new friends across the USA, learn ideas I didn’t even know I wanted to know. And friendships that will last a lifetime. SHARON FROELICH The advice from others on how to market what we do has been priceless. I am new in the area of specializing in gun engraving... so any and all advice is always welcome. I also think that as the Lady Sharpshooter’s group gains more notoriety, it will benefit me in being part of the group. Just the association makes me strive for more excellence. I don’t want to let the group down with poor performance. The bar is set really high with this group. DIANE SIMPSON Very proud that the FEGA Board members allowed us to have LSS Group tables at the show last year. We plan to have even more tables at the 2024 FEGA Show. People visiting our tables seemed excited that we were a group of women engraving guns. People around the world are following along with us on our journey. I acquired new customers at the FEGA Show.
